Introduction
I am a composer and artist who performs and teaches piano and acoustic guitar. I have a great understanding and love of music and patience with students of all ages and abilities. I teach music theory and composition, as well. My youngest student was 3, my oldest, 91! I excel teaching adults, getting quick results. I specialize in teaching children on the spectrum and learning to play "off the page," but I am also classically trained. I feel the process needs to be fun, for both me AND my clients in order to create lifetime players, and that's my goal. I live 3 miles north of the 215 off of Jones. (Centennial Hills?) I cannot teach weekends, but can be flexible with your schedule through the week, but not after 6pm. I offer 30 minutes, $25. 45 minutes, $37.50, and 1 hour lessons, $50. Buy one lesson and see if I'm right for you! Elaine

I'm a student in my late-30s who's trying to learn piano for the first time. I recently moved to the Norfolk / Portsmouth area from DC after taking lessons there for over a year, and I found Elaine through Thumbtack. Bottom line: Elaine is amazing! I've made more progress in the last few months than I ever would have thought possible. She teaches theory in an incredibly practical way, and she uses that foundation to teach me how to improvise, play by ear, and ultimately play at a level that I wouldn't have thought possible a few months ago. Elaine's teaching style is laid-back and fun. In school, the best teachers were the ones who made you excited to learn the subject at hand. In learning piano from Elaine, I find that I'm more excited and passionate about playing than I ever have been, and I'm looking forward to continuing on the journey to be a better player. Finally, while I'm an adult student, Elaine teaches players of all ages. I've often arrived as she's wrapping up with a young student, and she's absolutely fabulous with kids and younger players. If you're a parent with a child who's interested in music, Elaine is the teacher you want. Elaine is the best - if you're looking for a piano teacher in the Portsmouth area, stop looking and send her a note now. You will not be disappointed!
