Bauer Piano Studio

Great reason to take piano lessons!

Music lessons improve children’s cognitive skills and academic performance The first large-scale, longitudinal study in the Netherlands, finds that structured music lessons significantly enhance children’s cognitive abilities and academic achievement.

Have you been thinking about starting piano lessons (for you or your children)? Summer is a great time to start! It's also a good time to reserve a slot for fall. Openings are limited, but available.

My studio is located in the Liberty Place neighborhood, just north of Siggelkow. Rates are $110/month for 30-minute lessons (other options are also available).

The ideal age for starting piano lessons is 5-7, but I will take students as young as 4 (depending on the student). With my youngest students, I use a story-telling method (www.irinagorin.com) that encourages engagement and strong fundamental skills. I'm also happy to work with older beginners (including adults) and more experienced students.

I'm a professor of music at UW-Whitewater and have 20 years experience teaching piano lessons, as well as teaching in the public schools and higher ed.
