Sarah was our kid's piano teacher from the little years to the high school years. Not only was she a musical inspiration, she also became an invaluable role model and friend to our child. We couldn't recommend Sarah enough!

Sarah was my daughter’s piano teacher starting in Kindergarten up to the week before she left for College. She has been an amazingly positive influence in her life, helping to foster a love of music and encourage the confidence to perform and explore. Sarah has the ability to engage with kids and teens with authenticity and humor. When we switched to online classes she brought just as much energy and inspiration to each lesson as in-person lessons. I am so thankful for all that Sarah has done for our family. She’s the best!

Sarah Collins is THE BEST music teacher ever!!! I've taken weekly piano lessons with Sarah for 2 years, and now both of my kids see her for piano lessons as well. Sarah is an amazing teacher and such an enjoyable person to learn from. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to learn piano.

Sarah is exceptional. Her teaching methods are innovative, weaving together each lesson with patience, love, kindness, and joyful laughter. With a remarkable ability to tune in to her students, she guides them on their musical journey, tailoring her approach to their unique interests and needs. Our child recently "graduated" from piano lessons, a journey that began at the age of 9 and continued until they were nearly 17. It was a bittersweet decision to say goodbye to Sarah, yet it feels like she became a part of our family. She served as a valuable adult role model in our child's life, instilling not just a passion for music but also equipping them with the skills necessary for a lifelong musical adventure. For us, Sarah's impact extends beyond the realm of music education, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts.

Sarah is a truly amazing teacher. My 6 year old has attended both her in person piano lessons and her online piano lessons. Somehow, Sarah is able to teach her online lessons just as expertly as her in person lessons. My daughter has absolutely loved all of her lessons. Sarah is such a natural teacher of children. It has been so impressive to see my child respond and learn to all of Sarah's wonderful teaching.

Sarah welcomed my 5 and 6yos into her studio despite their young age, and my kids immediately took to her style of teaching. She kept the lesson light and fun. Can’t wait until our next lesson!

Piano Lessons FAQ

Can you really learn piano online?

I've taught piano both in-person and online for 15 years and have found that online lessons pack the most benefits for the families I teach. From a pedagogical standpoint, as long as there are good camera views on both sides, technique can be built just as effectively. Both student and teacher tend to listen better with an online setup, which is one of the primary skills a beginning musician should be honing. There's no financial or time cost to get to and from lessons, no missed lessons due to sniffles. Parents have time to do other things around the house during lessons, and there are no worries about forgetting to bring books to a lesson. And my favorite: the student gets to train on their home piano.

-students getting to wear pajamas to lessons is an additional plus. ;)

What age should you start piano lessons?

Age 5 is a wonderful time to begin lessons. 5 year olds who work with experienced teachers will build audiation skills on a much higher level and much more quickly than older students. Technique building is also much more effective when started early.

AND it's pretty much never too late to start learning piano! Your brain can still form new connections at any age and the benefits of learning something new are profound for all ages.

How much does piano tuition cost?

Piano lessons in Portland, Oregon may be as little as $25 per 30 minute lesson or as much as $75 per 30 minute lesson. The cost of piano lessons ranges from place to place and is based largely on the teacher’s expertise.

How many piano lessons does a beginner need?

If you’re working with a teacher who has at least 10 years of experience, and practice regularly, you can learn enough to be able to play early intermediate piano well in 1-3 years.
