Experienced tutor in Piano in Portland, Alice offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Alice is very patient and thorough teaching our boys to play piano. They have learned so much musically and participate in music activities at school and church.

Alice somehow manages to lead gently while still challenging me to continue to grow musically. The title of her studio is apt because it is her joy of music that guides her - and it's infectious! She is patient and perseveres with hope for me in my growth as a musician, and she throws a really fun, low-pressure performance gathering for adult students.

treat me as an equal and I can ask questions she answers so I understand

I would highly recommend Joy In Music to anyone interested in learning the piano. Alice makes learning fun and truly ENJOYABLE. She's patient and tailors your instruction to your particular goals and needs.

Alice provides a comfortable learning environment. Helps you on your personal journey through music.

I like the practical and patient instruction, being taught how to play the piano, being stretched to try more difficult pieces but not too difficult, the freedom to choose what kinds of music I enjoy and want to learn how to play, and Alice's love for music that is contagious.

Alice is terrific at finding music that works for each individual student.
She challenges us and allows us to develop and improved our skills but does not overwhelm us. She also recognizes that for adult students sometimes life gets in the way of practice but still facilitates a great lesson.

Alice is a great piano teacher. It amazes me how much i have learned. She is patient and kind. The name of her studio says it all - "Joy In Music"!!!!

As a part time, adult student, I find Alice's piano teaching style provides a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. I highly recommend Joy in Music Piano Studio!

Alice understands how adult students need to have more flexibility. Returning to piano after 30 years away has been easy with her, she pushes at the right speed and allows me to determine where I want to go with the lessons.

Alice is a professional. She teaches piano skills and theory. She knows her stuff. Alice is also a kind, caring and very patient woman. I have great respect for her and have throughly enjoyed lessons over the past eight years.

Alice has crafted my lessons in a way that takes me in the direction I want to go in, but also teaches the fundamentals of piano so that I will be a well rounded player. There are parts of learning the piano that have been frustrating, but Alice is very patient and makes learning new techniques fun and uses the type of music I enjoy to help me learn.

Alice worked hard at accommodating my music disabilities! I have enjoyed learning a new skill at an old age!

Alice is wonderful, she has so much patience with me trying to learn piano as a adult, it is sincerely appreciated.
