About Shauna
As an experienced piano teacher (since 1974), I am passionate about creative approaches to teaching music. My piano lessons are varied, adaptable to the individual student’s style of learning and I strive to inspire an overall appreciation for music as a fine art.
I love music, teaching and seeing results! (concealed information)
I started teaching in the mid seventies while attending college and put myself through school. I learned how to teach piano by several methods, high quality teachers, which includes my own piano teacher and several pedagogy classes. I earned a BA in music composition from UCSB
I earned a B.A.DEGREE specialized in music composition from the University of California in Santa Barbara. I have taught for over 40 years, I continue learning and continue pedgogy lessons learning new ways to reach out to students and be the best for my students to learn.

New students share their interests by filling out a questionnaire. I do not use one method. I use several different methods tailored for the unique learning style for each individual student. I prepare lesson plans weekly, teach how to practice and how to prepare their assignments so they can learn to the best of their ability. I find pieces that will motivate students at their level and to inspire them so they progress. Students learn to sight read, understand rhythm, theory, ear training, technique, compose, and improvise.
I teach all ages and levels of education.
A meet and greet is a requirement before accepting a student into the piano stuido. Student should have a well tuned acoustical piano to practice. Meet with different teachers to meet your learning style before you commit to a life time of learning. Parents and Teachers should be supportive to the student's learning process. Communication is the key.
I am grateful when I feel I have done a good job by motivating a student who did not like to practice. Now she shares her excitement of music with her cousins and friends.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Review the studio policy to make sure it is a good fit for you. Does the teacher communicate clearly and take a step at a time. Does the teacher have several different types of music to draw upon and what method books does the teacher like to use for beginners.

I'm an adult piano student who's been in and out of private lessons for years with various teachers. I've been with Shauna the longest because I've gotten the most (by far) from her approach to instruction. She's passionate about teaching and she really identifies and focuses on students' musical goals. I recommend her highly.
