Trial Class: Private Piano Lessons for Kids and Teens!

This is a one-time trial class to meet Miss Olivia and see if you'd like to continue our musical journey together!

Class Experience

This class will go over the basics of playing piano, including talking about what a piano looks like, pitches that go higher or lower, good piano posture, and navigating the keyboard. There will also be a time to ask any questions about what repeated piano lessons with Miss Olivia would look like. 

If you choose to sign up for repeated piano lessons with Miss Olivia, here are some details on my teaching method!

This class is taught in English.

For this trial class, the goal is to determine if you'd like to start private piano lessons on a regular basis with Miss Olivia.

Hi! I’m Miss Olivia. Given that my mom is a composer and piano teacher, I have been musically-minded my entire life. I started teaching private piano and voice lessons when I was 16, and have now been going strong for 8 years, teaching kids, teens and adults both in-person and online. My youngest student was just 3 years old, and my oldest is currently 77! 

While my approach is grounded in classical piano methods with an emphasis on learning music theory, I love to help students explore other genres of music that are exciting to them. 

My personal areas of specialty are classical piano, musical theatre, and jazz. I took classical piano lessons for 12 years, studied classical voice for 8 years, and performed in more than 15 stage musicals with school, community theatre, and local professional groups. I also spent 8 years playing saxophone and singing with jazz bands in the Seattle area. I have been a member of funk bands, a capella groups, gospel choirs, and even composed several of my own orchestral pieces. My multifaceted musical background allows me to introduce students to a wide variety of musical styles and pursue directions that resonate with them the most. 

In addition to teaching private piano and voice, I have assistant directed a family community theatre production, facilitated piano- and music-themed summer camps, and volunteered leading music classes for kids at a community home in Bolivia. I love music!
