A-1 Piano, Bass And Guitar Lessons
15 Reviews
Over 30 years of teaching experience! I teach at all levels, from the very beginner to the advanced, how to play guitar, bass and piano. My teaching methods help the student to learn more quickly how to play their instrument. All students master their instrument through ear-training and learning music theory (how music works). Many of my students have started their own bands and have joined other music programs. I can prepare the student for a jazz (improvisational) program as well as a classical audition.

We teach you what you want to play, how you want to play it
We teach because we want to offer lessons on all instruments to all interest levels, all ability levels, and all ages, anywhere in the Seattle area.
We teach because we believe experienced music professionals deserve to be matched with bright and interested students.
We teach because we see the typical music lesson, in a cramped studio with an overworked teacher using decades-old materials to teach a single style of a single instrument, and we think we can offer more—and do better.
We teach music to make learning more worthwhile and more fun for our students.

Piano Studio Of Karin McCullough, NCTM
8 Reviews
Music-making is part of what fulfills us as human beings. With endless patience, I enjoy teaching my students to become musically literate, so that they can begin to correctly "decode" and beautifully play what's written on the score on their own (rather than have me "spoonfeed" them every piece, every phrase, every note), make their own arrangements, and compose their own music.
I give my students many opportunities to make music with and for others: I organize and prepare my students for at least 2 studiowide recitals a year, prepare them to perform in citywide Seattle Music Teacher Association recitals (3 times a year for adults, and 2 tim

Voice Lessons With Jessica Gorski
1 Review
I believe each person who can hear and speak can learn to sing, if they desire. There are no "bad sounds" produced in my studio: we explore the voice at every level making everything from soft floaty sounds to hard gravelly sounds. Becoming familiar with requirements for producing these types of sound is intrinsic to learning any genre of music as well as the current limitations and growth potential of your own voice.
My lessons focus on healthy vocal production to free the best voice of each individual singer and are aimed at accomplishing the long-term or short-term goals of the singer, whatever those may be. Often I will

Adam Syed has devoted himself to teaching and performing the violin for more than a decade. He is new to the Pacific Northwest and originally hails from Ohio. Himself a child of the Suzuki Violin Method, Mr. Syed began his first violin lessons at age 3 at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. As he grew older and into high school, he found himself realizing that the Sunday morning lessons and afternoon rehearsals at Cincinnati Youth Symphony were his favorite four hours of the week, and realized that this is what he wanted to do for a living more than anything else.

Open Pianos Studio

I have made a specialty of teaching piano to adults in my studio or online via Skype/Viber/Zoom/ FB. I combined both Russian and American schools of music methods with an entirely different approach. Adult students are learning to play the music they like in a more creative and joyful way. The emphasis on the musicianship and expression in performance as well as healthy technique provides many possibilities for pianists to come back and enjoy the piano.

I recently moved back to the Seattle area after spending three years in Texas teaching a studio of 35 middle and high school flutists.
