What brings you here today?

During our initial meeting I would like to identity your piano goals so I can adjust my teaching approach. Be honest and let me know what you are here for. It is important that we are both on the same page so I can be of most help to you and your goals! I will help you identify and address the issues during our one-on-one lessons.

Piano
Technique

Whether you've had an inexperienced teacher in the past or you taught yourself I can help you develop the technique that will help you achieve your piano playing goals

Performance
Anxiety

It doesn't matter if you have been playing for a decade if you can't solve the mystery of why performance anxiety happens in the first place. With my professional performance experience, I am here to share the tricks how to perform with confidence.

Memorization

This is important for both aging brain and aspiring pianists getting ready for their performances or improving the playing. Memorization is part of the learning progress and you learn about yourself and the musical piece after you memorized it. It's encouraged for everyone.

Artistic Interpretations

A lot about music playing is processing the information from the score: character, style. and musical expressions. This is where a lot of intermediate students feel stuck. You will be trained to see the score differently and interpret according to the composition and composer.

What should you expect from the lessons

As a "Doctor of Music", I have a full and comprehensive understanding of all aspects of piano performance and teaching. It is my goal to use my knowledge and experience I have accumulated over the years to give my students the best possible teaching and get the most out of their time and energy. Throughout the study, the student will learn how to organize the practice sessions for the best result. Lessons will address specific techniques to focus on in any given moment and how to figure this out independently in the future. Most importantly we will discuss how to stay disciplined and bounce back after low points or long breaks. Other topics to cover includes how to reflect and refine your playing over time, becoming comfortable with performance settings and addressing wrong habits in a healthy way. I can’t wait to get to know you more and help you get the most out of the wonderful gift of music.

Lkhasuren Batdorj, 40

I have been taking lessons with Shuree for about 1.5 years now so this is an updated review. She is very knowledgeable and will continue thinking of different ways to explain things until I can understand it clearly. The more I progress through a piece, she will show me different ideas to bring the piece to life that I probably never would've discovered on my own, such as how to phrase and voice passages. She also shows me how to achieve the proper tone and colors for the piece that I am learning and ensures I am using the proper techniques. I am very happy having her as a teacher and will continue lessons as long as I can.

My daughter has been taking piano lessons here for the past couple of years. When she started she was a mid “B” student and really had to work hard to maintain that average. Today she has a 4.0 GPA and she makes it look easy. Her concentration and discipline to learn has also improved tremendously.
Bart Doyal, 45

We love Miss Shuree! Our kids look forward to their weekly lesson and are very motivated to practice to please her. My son and daughter take back to back lessons and Shuree sometimes takes a different approach with the two of them to best get them both to focus and learn. She’s funny and the kids adore her. It’s been a wonderful start to our piano journey.
Lauren Ahier & Family

I began taking piano lessons with Shuree about a year ago, and she has helped me develop greatly as a musician since then. Her approach to teaching was very effective. She encouraged me to think at the music in a thoughtful and critical manner, which is an incredibly important skill to have for a musician. I recommend her studio to anyone seeking to develop their artistic abilities on the piano.
Note: I'm a college student who has been playing piano for a long time.
Tyler Lee, 23

What I like about Shuree is that she encourages me even when I make mistakes. She’s very patient and is always challenging me to do better. She presents me with additional techniques or approaches when I’m stuck on one particular tune or section. I get to play music that appeals to me. When I start to lose my way Shuree has the knack to get me re-focused on my goals and recapture the reason I started piano lessons. Her selections of additional books have always helped with just an area of music I needed. Shuree makes me want to practice so I won’t disappoint her I highly recommend taking piano lessons with Shuree

Shuree knows her job very well. She is talented and experienced. You go through so many challenges while learning piano. She patiently walks you through to come over them. You cannot believe how key points she mentions improves your skills. I had a great experience with her being my piano teacher.
Hamidreza J., 24

Shuree is a patient and kind teacher. She helped me develop skills to learn piano, and moreover, music on my own. I struggled with coordinating my hands, but, under her guidance, I was playing complicated pieces of music in little time. She can work with people at any level of piano performance. She is knowledgeable about technique, and music theory. I would recommend her to a friend, because she is so cool.
