Work with a UNT graduate offering lessons grounded in expressive piano playing and musical expertise.

As an experienced piano tutor with over 13 years in music education, holding a Bachelor's degree, I am Isabella Hawthorne. I specialize in creating personalized piano lessons tailored to each student's musical preferences and aspirations. From chord theory to performance skills, I cover a wide array of subjects including Piano, Upright Piano, and Jazz Piano. My teaching approach focuses on nurturing a deep understanding of music through techniques like ear training, improvisation, and music theory. Whether you're a young beginner or an adult returning to the piano, I cater to all levels of proficiency, including students with special needs. Witnessing my students unlock their musical potential brings me immense joy. Beyond the piano, I indulge in hobbies like hiking, photography, and culinary explorations. Just as I capture the beauty of landscapes through my lens, let's embark on a musical journey together to discover the beauty of piano melodies. Let's create harmonious lessons that resonate with your soul.

In my piano lessons, I blend theory integration, sight reading, technique focus, performance coaching, and expressive musicality to create an engaging and effective learning experience. I specialize in teaching Piano, Upright Piano, and Jazz Piano to over 200 students, including kids, beginners, adults, and all levels of expertise. By utilizing tech tools like Backing Track Libraries, Chord & Scale Reference Apps, and Virtual Piano Apps alongside traditional methods, I offer interactive lessons that cater to individual learning styles. My personalized tutoring approach ensures each session is tailored to the student's skill level, fostering a deep understanding of music and enhancing their piano playing abilities.
