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

My son has taken lessons from Retha for a year. He started off lessons learning the theme song to Star Wars. He is now learning piano technique and theory. Retha is encouraging and supportive during each lesson.

Retha is thoughtful, kind and rigorous. Both our children have been her students for years and love piano!

Retha has been providing piano lessons for our daughter for 9 years. She has challenged our daughter to explore and be excited about a variety of genres of music. She has paced the complexity of arrangements as our daughter progresses her technique. She provides a traditional structure and discipline to learning while being warm and nurturing. We are so grateful we found her when our daughter was just 4 years old.

Retha is able to connect with each student, makes each student feel special and welcome. She has a great knowledge of piano pedagogy and is able to bring out the best in each student. Also, her flexibility is greatly appreciated. My sons have been taking piano lessons for many years and we are very happy with their progress.

Great teacher for our 10 year old! Retha is patient and understanding and very clear with expectations. Thank you Retha!

My son has been taking lessons from Retha for 2 years now. He is always excited to go, because Retha is very patient and always professional. She chooses fun pieces, such as Star Wars song, which my son loves to practice.
