Bee Happy Piano Lessons
About
Offering structured lessons in music theory and practice with a twist of fun.
I am a classically trained pianist and play for my church. I love all styles of music.
I teach because I love sharing the gift of music, and it is very rewarding to see a student progressing, especially when it's a child. I have four grown children of my own, of which three are now involved in music at various levels.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start with basic note recognition and where the corresponding notes are on the piano, giving attention to acquiring the ability to read music effectively.

I charge $80 a month for a 30-minute lesson in my home, once a week.
