About
'Teresa Tullar's Music Studio' has a quality grand piano and an extensive collection of learning games, digital resources, and activities for young and older musicians, alike.”
Students love playing on the studio iPad with the music apps. They enjoy learning theory and are eager to answer my questions. Most of the time, parents have to drag kids out of the studio... that’s just how much they love their lessons!”
I'm a very experienced, enthusiastic, fun-loving contemporary teacher. I've implemented an all-new piano method series in my studio and several awesome iPad music apps that are great for skill-building with sight-reading and learning rhythm and connects me with my students. These have been met with rave reviews!
'Teresa Tullar's Music Studio' offers a stress-free, enjoyable (but, at the same time, challenging) environment for students to learn in. 'Fun plus progress' is a win-win!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
A student who has no knowledge of reading music will soon be able to read notes on the staff and will be playing songs that they know and love.
I include music theory as part of every lesson to build a strong foundation on which the student will be able to grow in their musical ability from.
I incorporate many different ways of teaching note-reading scales, chords, sight-reading and improvising. I like to keep current and use various iPad apps in my teaching which has been welcomed and applied with great success!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended McPhail School of Music in Minnesota.
I have been teaching piano and guitar for over 40 years and have many satisfied clients!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Current tuition is a flat fee of $115/month which includes four 30 minute lessons (or two 60 minute lessons).
How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching after high school and have always had a passion to help others to be able to make their own music!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have a great rapport with students of all ages and have successfully taught students as young as 3 years to play piano. I've taught group piano classes to 3-4 year olds at a pre-school for 5 years.
I also have many adult students and retirees who have had lessons as a child or it's on their 'bucket list' to learn to play piano or guitar!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Our spring recital was three weeks ago and I had 23 of my students participating in it - it was a wonderful afternoon of music and fun as students showed off their expertise on their instruments and parents & grandparents were able to take great pride in their student's accomplishments.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Let your prospective teacher know what it is that you're hoping to accoomplish with your music lessons.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is it that you're aiming for with your music instruction? To be a concert pianist? Or to be able to play the current pop songs you enjoy listening to on the radio? Do you want to learn to accompany yourself as you sing?
Taking these things into consideration will help your teacher be able to better tailor the lessons to reach your musical goals!
