Salisbury Piano Lessons

I am a semiretired piano teacher. I have been an engineer, a landlord, a photographer, but have also always loved music, and 5 years ago decided to commit myself to teaching piano. I have played since age 8, and also played clarinet in junior high, and high school, and also was church organist twice, but have always come back to the instrument I love most, the piano. My lessons are designed to make learning fun. I use the Faber series of piano instruction books, which are loaded, right from the beginning with duets. Duets make a student learn rhythm, as duets obviously don't work at all, if both student and teacher aren't together on the beat. My students do love music too. I started writing music 3 years ago, and in describing the fun I was having in composing music, a couple of my students have done likewise, and written some amazing songs. I recorded 12 of my songs onto a CD, and have actually sold nearly 350 of those going mostly door to door, in Cache Valley. I just love seeing my students grow in their ability, and it is so much fun to see that. AS mentioned earlier, I took quite a few years of both piano, and organ lessons myself, and played in the band for six years. Then, after I served an LDS mission in Germany, I got together with a bunch of guys that had been in the high school dance band, and we formed a band again, and played for dances all over Cache Valley. I did graduate from USU in Mechanical Engineering, but never lost my love for music. Now, I am retired from engineering, but still design RC planes, boats and cars for fun, but I also sell some of my designs to magazines. I would love to hear from you, and show you my piano studio, I do have a seven ft. Samick piano, which has an amazingly good tone.
