Nancy Rhoden

Nancy began studying piano at the age of seven and completed her Bachelor of Music Degree in 1979 from Baylor University in Piano Pedagogy. She has experience teaching keyboard enthusiasts of all levels and ages, both in private and classroom environments. Her dynamic studio is where students will learn the universal language of music and piano concepts with ease and accuracy. She uses a classical approach to playing the piano through the expression of rhythms, melody, notation, technique, and theory.

Connie Lund

Connie has over 30 years experience as a professional piano instructor. She has been an elementary school music teacher as well as a private instructor on both piano and flute, with a special partiality to "worship style" music. Connie and her husband, Jerry, raised their three children in Northern California. They have spent most of their married life as music directors, leading large productions, choirs, and worship teams from all around the United States. A balanced approach of easy-going humor and discipline to push a student beyond what they think they can accomplish has always made Connie a highly sought after piano instructor.
