| Hello, my name is
Bonnie Kotzer and I have 17 year
experience teaching music to children and
adults. I give piano and keyboard lessons
from my studio in Lakewood, Colorado. I
teach music to all levels and abilities of
students. Perhaps you have a little child
who wants to learn "Twinkle Twinkle" on
their keyboard. Or maybe you are an adult
who played piano through high school, and
wants to resume piano lessons as an adult. I
also teach music to many adults who are
starting as total beginners. My students are all encouraged to have fluent
sight-reading skills, basic improvisational skills,
and the ability to easily learn the type of music
they want, whether they are playing "just for fun",
or preparing for an audition into a university level
music school.
Many
of my students accompany their school or church
choir, play in their school orchestra, or play in
their school’s jazz band.
Many of the styles of music my students often
learn include:
- Popular Piano
- Classical Piano
- Jazz Piano
- Christian Piano
- Piano Improvisation
- Piano Composition
Levels: Beginner to Advanced.
Ages: children and adults
Testimonials:
"We have recently
asked Ms. Kotzer to teach piano to three of
our other children ages six, nine, and
eleven, because we were so impressed with
her teaching ability with our daughter
Catriona."
- Mary 303-232-1874
"It was truly my great fortune to have
located Bonnie Kotzer when I began searching
for a piano instructor. Her skillful and
enthusiastic instruction make learning
interesting."
- Patti 303-237-9399
"Bonnie's approach to
teaching piano is smart and sensitive. Most
telling is when my daughter plays at home -
just for the fun of it!"
- Susan 393-570-4154
Performing Experience: I played
piano and keyboard professionally in the metro
Denver area, both as a soloist and a member of the
bands "Arabesque" and "Howard and Company". I was
very busy, playing about 100 gigs a year.
I played music for all sorts of engagements
including weddings, anniversaries, fund-raisers,
corporate functions, birthdays, reunions and
Christmas parties.
My experiences as a performer taught me a lot
about different kinds of music, and a lot about
different kinds of people. I am able to incorporate
these skills into teaching my piano lessons.
Educational Background:
- University of Colorado, Boulder Colorado
- University of
Washington, Seattle Washington
- graduated cum laude
majoring in music
My teachers included members of the Seattle
Symphony, members of the Denver Symphony, graduates
of the Moscow Conservatory of Music, and a number of
different college professors.
Equipment:
I have a Steinway grand piano and a Yamaha
keyboard at my studio. Students may pick whichever
instrument they are most comfortable playing with.
One of the funnest things to do in my teaching is to play
music together with my students, with me on keyboard
and the student on the piano.
