Hello! Thanks for considering piano lessons with me! I've been playing piano since I was 5-years-old. I remember my lessons throughout the years, and my goal is always to take those memories to help shape my own lessons so that they are fun and effective for my students. This class is for private lessons piano! Voice and/or sight singing can also be added to the weekly lessons. We will work on piano skills, note reading, and performing songs that the student enjoys. To start, we will go over some chords and scales, and the student can pick a song. As the weeks progress, we will build upon practice of the song until the student is confident with it. Once a scale is mastered, we will move on to the next. This creates a foundation for piano technique, music theory, sight reading, and performance. I am always happy to alter lessons to the child's interests.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Ready to learn to write some music? All of us have music inside, and I will teach you how to let it out! Let's learn to read notes, write for different instruments, identify different musical styles, learn software (Sibelius, Logic Pro, Garage Band), and enjoy creating!
I've always been a musician and decided to further my education at Azusa Pacific Univeristy in Southern California and the University of Bristol in the U.K. I learned so many great musical skills from wonderful teachers, and I can't wait to share the knowledge to young learners.
Music is a vast world and I believe in taking all of the elements and combining them together. The magic in it is that all of the elements are both challenging and fun! The rewards in growing your musical skills show up in such gratifying ways, and all of us, no matter the age or skill level, are on the journey together.
A bit about me: I love traveling! I'm a big reader (my favorite books are by Jane Austen and the Harry Potter and Confessions of a Shopaholic series). I enjoy going on walks and spending time with my family.
I'm Tori! A composer from California.
- I worked for my BM in composition from Azusa Pacific University and learned many, many musical skills!
- At Azusa Pacific I wrote my first opera
- I worked for my masters across the pond at the University of Bristol in England (and wrote my second opera)
- Went on to London, a city I loved, and enjoyed that city and other European cities
- Always worked with kids as my mom was a preschool teacher (we even ran a preschool from home for a bit!)
- Currently I freelance as a composer and write all differnet styles - pop to classical!
- I love animals, watching movies, reading, singing, piano, and travelling.
- My approach to learning is to make it attainable, easy to remember, fun, and really communicating the value of the information because otherwise, what is the point of learning a certain topic?
