LESSON DESCRIPTION: Classical-style private piano lessons are offered for students of all levels (improvisation and worship chord charts are not part of the curriculum). Beginners typically start with a method book such as Piano Safari or Piano Adventures, while intermediate and advanced students study repertoire from all four major time periods—Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th-century—along with etudes and contemporary pedagogical rep. Weekly lessons include note reading, ear training, technique development, and music theory, with instruction informed by the Taubman Approach and the Russian School of Piano Playing. Emphasis is placed on sight reading, musical expression, musicality, and performance etiquette. Students participate in one to three performance opportunities each year, including recitals, festivals, and adjudications through the Alaska Federation of Music Clubs. Lessons are available in person or via Zoom and are offered in 45- or 60-minute weekly formats. The teacher is a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music (NCTM) through the Music Teachers National Association. See website  http://lastfrontierpianostudio.org
