Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Joyful Piano Studio, located in Bellevue, WA near Redmond, Issaquah and Kirkland offers piano lessons specializing in ages 4 - 13 in a positive and encouraging learning environment. On a case-by-case basis, female students age 14 and older may also be accepted. The studio offers the best piano lesson structure for kids to keep young students engaged, interested, and wanting to practice! Ms. Elaine's unique approach produces students that create amazing sounds at the piano with great technique who also enjoy the process of learning to play the piano. This is accomplished by not only teaching the important fundamentals of piano during lesson time, but also offering an incentive program, fun musical games, and iPad music apps to reinforce theory concepts and enhance learning during piano lessons. Composition and improvisation are also encouraged to nurture the creative side of the developing musician. Ms. Elaine is a top-rated (see reviews from other families) dedicated and enthusiastic full-time piano instructor with a music degree and over five years of teaching experience. The instructor started piano lessons at a young age which helped her realize the importance of positive first experiences in music. One annual spring recital is offered at a retirement home so that students can share their love of music and give back to the community. For more detailed information, please visit the studio website and contact for a free introductory lesson!

Ms. Elaine is a phenomenal teacher! Here's why she stands out from the rest: 1) She genuinely cares. She's very devoted to her students and spends so much time outside of class helping our kids have the best experience. Whether it's researching best practices, looking for the best prizes for the students' prize box, finding ways to help the students be more well-rounded musicians, making compliment books for the kids, etc., she is always working hard for us. 2) She's very enthusiastic. I'm amazed at her energy and how she's able to stay so positive. This is especially important when you work with kids. She has a special way of getting the best out of her students. 3) Her methods work. I don't know of any other teacher that asks parents to have such an active role (I am asked to not only actively attend the lesson but also to help my son each time he practices) but after seeing the success she has had, I think many more will start. I cannot believe the incredible progress my son has made in the last year and half. I am certain with any other teacher, he would not have made such gains. I also like all her strategies. She has the greatest tips and creative ideas for how to approach musical concepts. My son really likes her (and his younger brothers can't wait to start) and he has become a great little pianist...can't beat that!

Ms. Elaine works with young kids in a unique, exceptional way. She does not just focus on how each individual kid can learn at their best, but more important how much they enjoy and have fun along the way. In addition to teaching students how to play the music properly, Ms. Elaine also provides guidance on composing. I can confidently say all this because I have sat with my son at each lesson for over 3 years, since he was 5. Trevor has set up his own practice schedule and delightfully shared his music with others. As parents, our utmost goal is to see our kid learn music with passion, and we have owed that to Ms. Elaine, who has created and provided a music nurturing environment to our son.

Elaine has been teaching 3 of my children piano lessons for 3 years now. She has since added a 4th. She is patient and encouraging yet firm. She makes sure they strive to do their best and teaches strong technique. She also include improv, ear training, and chords. Rather than just sticking to the books, Elaine is constantly coming up with fun, creative ways to reinforce the theory the kids are learning.
