Joy Tjoelker Piano Studio

I am starting to take children as young as 4 years old - which is a new option for me. I've discovered a wonderful curriculum called Piano Safari that addresses many of the wonderful quirks of teaching the younger set of children. It's a great hands-on method, built on solid research.

I so love to hear the individual students play their songs; each student's interpretation is different than any other. A true gift. And I enjoy giving tools to students to unlock the mysteries of the written song page. Each student progresses at their own pace, with encouragement, tools and corrections when needed to express the music already inside of them. It's a beautiful thing to behold!
