Patient, structured piano and voice lessons for children from age six and for adults returning to music.
About
Portland, OregonHi, I’m Clara.
I started teaching piano in my parents’ living room and never stopped. Today I teach about thirty students a week, from first-time six-year-olds to adults picking up the music they left behind.
Lessons balance real pieces with the reading, rhythm and technique that make the next piece easier. Every student plays in a relaxed recital twice a year.
