Melissa O'Neal's grand piano in her Bothell studio.

Welcome to a wonderful new year of piano lessons.  It is my goal to create a lifelong love of music. I will teach how to read music and how to play by ear. I will show you how to play with expression and how to count and create. We will learn discipline through practice and joy in the process. 

I teach different genres of music and include basic theory and technique. I enjoy tailoring the lesson to each individual student.

PRACTICE

This is the hard part!  Try and find a time during the day that works for your family.  With consistent practice comes consistent progress-- a minimum of 100 minutes a week will allow progress to occur.  Ways to motivate include encouraging your student to share what they have learned during their practice session, listening to music as a family, attending live performances, recording your child playing a piece and sharing it with others.
