Private Music Lessons in Portland, OR

I offer customized Guitar, Bass Guitar, and Ukulele lessons tailored to your needs, e.g., technique, repertoire, and performance. I am an experienced, enthusiastic, patient, and friendly teacher. I work well with people of various ages, temperaments, and abilities so that each of them feels special, valued, and encouraged. I also can teach how to read music, rhythms, ear training, music theory, orchestration/arranging (from small combos to big bands), and the Kodaly method. I am seasoned in teaching and performing, with plenty of routines on stage from the smallest pubs to the largest arenas in multiple styles like jazz, musical, rock, pop, and gospel. My motto shares the thoughts of Joe Diorio - he is one of my favorite guitarists and educator: "Teaching is the highest thing you can do - helping people to help themselves or maybe fulfill their dreams." My home studio is in Multnomah Village SW Portland, on 26th Ave, close to Lake Oswego/Tigard/Tualatin and Beaverton.

I have been teaching music for more than 25 years, and I call myself a "teachaholic": just because I love what I am doing! As a singer I have teaching, performing and recording experience in various genres: jazz, pop, rock, gospel, musical and classical. As a piano teacher, I have a strong classical education. Therefore I am specialized more in classical piano literature. However, when it comes to accompanying my voice students, I am ready to play any genres! About my education: Bachelor and Master of Music and Music Education Dual Degree at 'The Liszt Academy of Music' Budapest, Hungary. I was an Adjunct Professor at the Music Department at Western Oregon University (WOU) substituting in the 2015 Fall Term. Through WOU I was twice (in 2017 and 2018) a guest vocal professor at the Guangxi Art University in Nanning, China. Currently, I am the Adjunct Professor of Applied Jazz Voice at Lewis and Clark College, in Portland, OR. I provide my students with a safe, nurturing, supporting and friendly atmosphere right from the very first moment, so they can feel that they can trust me. I offer voice and piano lessons in Multnomah Village, in my home studio to Lake Oswego/Tigard/Beaverton/Tualatin, with quick access to I-5, I-205 and OR-217.
