About Catharina
Rated as one of the Best Portland Piano Teachers by Expertise.com Catharina teaches classical piano to pop and improvisation online or in-person to all ages has a fun program for pre-school kids!
Hi, I'm Catharina, and I want to thank you for taking the time to read this. Although I teach the entire syllabus to all ages, I specialize in teaching the little ones how to play the piano and use a variety of props and methods, including stuffed animals, rhythm instruments, and musical games to do this effectively.
I teach ages 3.8-adults and seniors with patience and compassion. Because of my background working with children from pre-school through Highschool as a music teacher, choir director, and concert producer and performing at numerous venues as a professional musician, I understand the importance of creating a friendly, safe, and stimulating learning environment for my students!
I love every one of my students and try my best to bring them to their full potential as skilled pianists while building up their self-confidence in a nurturing atmosphere. I love to praise them for performing at school, talent shows, churches, recitals, at home for their family and friends, or simply playing the piano for their beloved pet! That's what it's all about. Fun, relaxed lessons, with seriously great results! Feel free to see my students perform at (concealed information) website/ or (concealed information)
I love to see the joy on the faces of my students (especially the little ones) when they accomplish something new during piano lessons and especially during the applause after their Recital performances!

If you contact me, we can set up a time for a friendly first lesson online or in person. You will receive a short policy and schedule and let me know if you would like to take lessons on a monthly basis. There is no sign-up fee and no contract so you may stop at any time. I aim to make it fun and relaxed for the students so they learn at the pace that is comfortable for them. Some students love being challenged while others prefer learning at a slower pace. I teach with compassion and understanding and the results are wonderful!
All Ages, beginners to advanced.
Many people can play the piano well. Make sure you hire an experienced teacher with good reviews!
Recitals are our highlighs!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do you prefer lessons online or in-person?
Would you like to learn the traditional syllabus or improvising/chord piano?
If lessons are for your preschool child, does the teacher have experience in working with little kids?

Working with teacher Cathy has been the best experience! As an adult learner I was nervous about starting lessons - and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Cathy has made the whole experience so positive and enjoyable. She is so warm, welcoming, and supportive, and an incredible teacher. I look forward to our lessons each week and I feel like I've learned more than I ever have and have found a newfound love for music. Her teaching style is patient, encouraging and tailored to my pace, which helped me gain confidence and some serious progress. Every lesson inspires me to learn more. I can't recommend Cathy highly enough!
We have been fortunate to have Cathy as our teacher for the past 2 1/2 years. She is very patient and kind with our daughter. The foundational music skills she has gained are exactly what we wanted.
Cathy is a great piano teacher, able to work with all ages of children and has years of experience with various levels students are at.
Teacher Cathy is a wonderful piano teacher. She does a great job working with young children. All of her students perform so well at the recital. She has been splendid to work with.
Piano lessons are structured very differently from others... kids learn music from all aspects- techniques, details, learning by listening and feeling , and Ms Cathy teaches them improvisation techniques which I think is a skill that you will not get from conventional piano teachers. I can see Ms Cathy truly cares for her students and teaches them with a personal touch. I give Ms Cathy a 5 star!!!
Cathy is very patient and know how to work with young children.
After deciding to pick piano back up, I came across Cathy's website. Cathy is not only very talented and informative as an instructor but she has such a fantastic soul and a big heart. I think it is essential to have an instructor who not only can teach you how to play but can support and encourage you along the way. If you are looking to start up piano, change instructors, or pick up the craft again, I hope you give Cathy a call. She will not disappoint you!

Cathy is an amazing teacher. She involves the parent too so we can help guide practice at home. She’s very flexible and has switched to online lessons during this pandemic. We are so grateful to continue this lesson.
I like the encouragement, honesty and her ability to adjust the lessons to fit my abilities while staying focused on constant improvement. She keeps it fun too!
Teacher Cathy is a wonderful, patient and caring teacher. Always have a smile on her face, always positive and always supportive to her students. My daughter has been taking piano lessons with her for about 3 years and really enjoys it. Thank you very much Teacher Cathy! :-)
She is a lovely lady with a big heart we love her
She works with you on the things you need and want to learn. Patient, kind and knowledgeable. I love going to my lessons.
