Introduction: I have been teaching children and adults how to play the piano for over thirty years and have learned so much during that time. It is so much fun to connect with a student and figure out what it takes to help them learn and love the music they play. This brings them and me much satisfaction. I am always patient and soft spoken as I teach the many important basics of music so necessary for a student to fully learn a piece. I also incorporate fun learning tools such as special music games that help students learn the fundamentals of music in a fun and enjoyable way. At my studio, students play a beautiful baby grand piano, a rare treat. What I love most about my job is teaching a student how to perform beautiful music and sharing in the fun they have in accomplishing their musical goals. And, that we are able to do this in beautiful and comfortable surroundings. It is so fun inviting a student into my studio, teaching them how to sit at the piano properly, and then proceeding to introduce the wonderful world of music to them and witness their smiles and giggles as they play a fun piece for the first time. I love teaching the fundamentals of music such as note reading, rhythm and dynamics, and helping students apply what they learn as they study each new piece.

It's not easy to find the right piano teacher especially for kids. My son was 4.9 years when he started with Mrs. Julie Briggs. She was so patient with him & she is the most wonderful combination of talent, skill & qualification. Many other pianists we met were some how lacking skills to teach kids on their level of understanding. But, she knows how to teach effectively. She is passionate about music, she encourages them & coach them perfectly. My son was ready in 1.5 months to read his music sheet. In all the things we hoped a music teacher would be, Mrs. Briggs has turned out to be all of them and more. We were planning to continue lessons as long as we can. But it's sad that she is moving. My son is already missing her & keeps telling he likes mrs. Briggs a lot! Parents of Amogh Suma Sandeep

Mrs. Briggs has taught me so much in only 3 years of being her student. She made me like music more and more, and I started playing songs far beyond my age level. She taught me theory that helped me so much in my music, and her positive attitude made me want to come every class and learn a new song! Ben (12 years old) Julie is the nicest piano teacher, truly dedicated to children and their improvement. Our son Ben took lessons with her for three years and got quite good. When Ben wanted to change books and type of songs, Julie was perfectly willing to do so. Julie gently prodded Ben into consistent practicing and he certainly benefitted. Julies annual recitals, in which all the kids played a song, were wonderful events. We followed Julie when she moved locally, one town away, even though it doubled our drive. We are sad to see her move across the country and wish her the best in her new adventure. Arizona piano students, you are lucky to have her. -Bens family

We have known Julie Briggs for four years and she's been a great piano teacher for our children. Currently, our 11-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter are enjoying learning to play piano from Julie. She really knows how to motivate children to play their best!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is not complicated, simply $65.00 per month.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I try to stay informed about the best method books to use and new, modern teaching techniques.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started taking piano lessons when I was eight years old. I loved playing the piano and by third grade I knew I wanted to be a piano teacher. Continuing to learn and excel, I was able to study with the renowned Dr. Donald Isaak at Arizona State University while still in high school. During this time, even though very busy with school, and practicing several hours a day, as well as often performing, I started teaching some friends and family members. I enjoyed teaching and the money I was able to earn. Since that time I have given piano lessons to children and adults of all ages and in many different situations, and I think I always will because I love it that much.
