Rowan Blackwood

I believe in lots of positive encouragement, fun, and working toward your goals. I learned through a variety of teachers and methods including myself, my dad, private lessons, community college, undergrad, and graduate schools. Because of this, I am able to approach the explanations & exercises from multiple angles and quickly adjust if one way doesn’t work for my student.

At the heart of it, I really love music and love teaching. I offer lessons in piano, guitar, ukulele as well as music theory and recording.
