Joanna began studying piano at the age of five and
won her first piano competition at age 15. Following
graduation from ASU, Joanna continued to study
privately for many years, pursuing a special
interest in the area of piano pedagogy. After many
years of teaching in public and private schools,
Joanna began teaching private lessons in her north
Scottsdale home studio. For over 20 years she has
successfully passed on her love for music to adults
and children of all ages. Several of her students
have been scholarship recipients. Presently Joanna
is an occasional accompanist and plays at private
Christmas parties.
Joanna has great rapport with all of her students.
She applies patience and encouragement to motivate
young students, as well as adults, and makes
learning the piano an enjoyable and enriching
experience. Each student is encouraged to pursue
supplemental music of their own selection. Students
may be invited to perform in one or more recitals
annually.
If you are a beginning adult student with little or
no previous piano, Joanna is the teacher to contact.
She will have you playing familiar music at your
very first lesson. You will progress at a rapid pace
and will soon be playing the songs you love!
Studio technology includes: Digital piano with
recording, synthesizer, computerized music theory
with Midi on multiple computers.
