Piano Lessons In Person or Zoom
Craig Randal Johnson has over 20 years of consecutive piano teaching experience. He has taught double bass, coached singers in a wide variety of settings in Europe and the USA, and has had an extensive performance career as pianist, conductor and orchestral double bassist, bringing a wealth of musical knowledge and personal experience to the piano teaching setting. Each student is different; a variety of learning strategies are always in play to enable a student to develop musically and as a performer.
Teaching venues include the home studio in SE Minneapolis, on zoom, and in private homes. If you are interested in piano instruction for your child or for yourself don’t hesitate to call or write. Note reading is emphasized, as well as sight reading, scales and how they related to musical repertoire. Early materials include the Faber piano adventures series for beginners and early intermediate students. Advancing students explore Bach, Beethoven and 20th C. repertoire amongst much else.
Learning is a fun and stimulating process. Contact Craig Randal Johnson if you are interested in starting piano, or if you are already a pianist looking for coaching and study opportunities.
