Piano Lessons in Portland, Oregon

What makes piano lessons at the Eliason School of Music so unique?

Students enrolled in our Portland Oregon piano lesson program learn pieces from the Suzuki method as well as the Faber and Faber piano method.  The benefits of using the Suzuki method are that students can learn songs by ear, focus on performing them correctly, and create excellent habits of play such as proper posture.  Once students have had some time to develop strong technical habits of play the focus is shifted more to the learning of scales, musical theory and sight reading.  This combination approach in our piano lessons allows students to have fun and enjoy playing lots of songs, while at the same time they learn more deeply how to understand music through the application of scales and musical theory.
