I feel grateful every day to get to inspire students through music.

I started my teaching journey in 2016 in Decorah, Iowa, and I am currently teaching students out of my home studio in Louisville, Colorado. I view my role as an educator not only as a means to impart musical knowledge but also as an opportunity to cultivate discipline, creativity, emotional expression, and patience in my students. I teach a wide range of ages and abilities, and I strive to have each student learn a balance of structured/traditional pieces and the music that inspires them (Taylor Swift, Harry Potter, AC/DC . . . you name it!). There is no greater joy than witnessing my students play at a recital, knowing that I have supported them throughout their learning journey and encouraged them to do their best!

Take lessons with me!

I recently started an Etsy shop with affordable, kid-friendly worksheets and resources to help students with note naming, rhythms, practice motivation, and more! You will also find my compositions and beginner/intermediate arrangements in my Etsy shop.

  • Every new student is highly encouraged to schedule a free 30 minute consultation with me at my studio (located in downtown Louisville CO). During this time, we’ll discuss your experience, your goals, materials you will need for lessons, and studio rules. This is a great chance for you to get comfortable with my studio space, and to get a glimpse of what piano lessons with me will look like.

  • I offer 30, 45, and 60 minute lessons. The pricing for each of those times is:

    • $50 for 30 minutes

    • $65 for 45 minutes

    • $80 for 60 minutes

    Payment for lessons is due once a month on the 1st. If you are looking to start lessons in the Summer of 2025, you may follow this payment plan or see below for summer lesson package pricing.

    Please contact me with any further questions you may have!

  • For a bit more flexibility in the summer, you may purchase 5, 8, or 10 lessons to be used at any point this summer (June 1-August 23). Pricing for class packages depends on the length and number of lessons purchased.

    Please contact me at cjhpianoteacher@gmail.com for more details!

  • Since everyone learns so differently, I vary my approach with each student in order to make the most progress. However, here is an example of what to expect in a piano lesson with me:

    • Warm up exercises and scales

    • In-depth instruction to help you with your current pieces

    • Focus on music theory through the use of worksheets and books

    • Discussion of your concerns, desires, and future goals

    *I am a classically trained musician, so my teaching style reflects classical technique and repertoire.
