About Paula


Bio

The piano is such a responsive instrument, a pleasure to listen to and has so many varied uses!

I've taught piano for a long time in person but have been doing it online for about four years. I play for church every Sunday; weddings, funerals, accompany soloists and ensembles for events and competitions.

I usually teach a 45-minute lesson for $30. For younger students, I recommend a 30-minute lesson for $24.

The piano is such a responsive instrument, a pleasure to listen to and has so many varied uses!

I've taught piano for a long time in person but have been doing it online for about four years. I play for church every Sunday; weddings, funerals, accompany soloists and ensembles for events and competitions.

It's important to have a piano or keyboard in your home for practicing.

My students and I have the same books, so we're literally 'on the same page.'

I write a summary of the lesson including the new assignment and send as an email.

Knowing something about the 'science' of music enhances your understanding, enjoyment and creativity. So I like to include theory and ear-training with each lesson. We can adjust the emphasis according to your wishes.

You probably have some questions for me: I'd like to answer them and talk to you further! I hope to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Paula Long

I've studied piano since I was eight years old and have a ton of experience: accompanying choirs, soloists, church services, weddings, funerals and my favorite is warmly guiding and encouraging my students toward making satisfying music of their own!

Very easy to work with & great teacher/mentor.

Paula has been my daughter’s teacher for several years and she has been very easy to work with. She plans her lessons to fit my daughter’s skill level and adds challenges as needed. Great summary and feedback for each lesson. Overall, I’m very happy with Paula being a great teacher and mentor to my daughter.
