Introduction
I provide private piano lessons to students of all ages and abilities. Classically trained, my teaching encompasses a solid understanding of proper technique, beautiful tone production, expressive playing and reading music. Those fundamental skills contribute to versatility and to the successful performance of the abundant keyboard literature spanning a variety of musical styles. Alongside many years of experience in effectively sharing my musical knowledge, I create a positive and nurturing learning environment with an enthusiastic, patient and encouraging approach. My commitment to understanding students' goals, learning styles and musical preferences ensures they will feel motivated to learn to play the piano and take pride in their accomplishments. Weekly private lessons are conducted in my home studio located in the Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose. I look forward to hearing from you!

Karin Swanson is a specially intelligent, energetic individual and gifted musician. She excels as a pianist and is an exceptional composer with a passion to teach others. As a former student of mine in the very difficult Comprehensive Musicianship class (musicianship integrated with theory) at San Jose State University, she was among the very top of her class. And her private composition lessons with me demonstrated her superb creative intuition and command of craft. Without reservation I recommended her very highly as a piano and composition instructor.

I'm really honored to have Karin as my piano teacher. She's so elegant, professional and inspiring! I have been studying piano for one year under Karin's guidance. She always gives me the clearest, most patient and most enthusiastic piano lessons. I really enjoy the piano learning experience with Karin!

Karin is very professional and very nice and patient. I only took one quarter of piano class at school before taking classes with Karin, but I have made a big progress. She is willing to offer course materials based on the students' needs or teach what the students want to learn. I really enjoy learning from Karin and really appreciate it.
