Play. Build. Enrich.

Christine provides quality piano lessons for children and adults wanting to learn to 
make music on the piano - because learning piano is fun!  
And yes, it can require some effort - like all worthwhile things.  

My goal is for students to acquire a love for music and develop their talents, so that music would enrich their lives always. 

          Play beyond just notes - play musically.
          Play without notes!

          Build discipline, grow confidence.
          Build brains, nurture the heart.

          Enrich life, awaken its colors.
          Let's focus now - and take yourself away!

Piano Christine & Studios is located in West Seattle, in the heart of Arbor Heights, and is convenient to all neighborhoods in West Seattle, including the Junction, Fairmount Park, Gatewood, and North Admiral, as well as surrounding areas in Burien / Normandy Park.  

Musician teacher, Fun & discipline

Christine has a special talent for combining fun & discipline in her piano instruction. There are many talented people out there, but not all of them can TEACH. Christine is that rare musician who’s incredibly talented AND able to teach effectively. My daughter has fun but also thrives on Christine’s lessons and expectations. We’ve been so lucky to have her as a piano teacher!  - Elena

Excitement for music

My boys, ages 11 and 9, have taken piano lessons from Christine for 1 year.  Their technique and discipline have improved, but more importantly, they are developing a deep love and excitement for music. As a parent, there is no greater joy than to witness one's children enjoying the beautiful things in life.  This is a gift that will accompany them their whole lives.  Christine's love for the piano is infectious and genuine. She is terrific!  - Kelly

Nurturing the soul

​After a 25-year hiatus from my own piano playing, I decided to pick it back up, amidst the hustle and bustle of mid-life. Christine has been infinitely patient and aided me in dusting off the cobwebs.  I am eternally grateful for her skill as a teacher and her deeply held love for music, as she has nurtured music back to life for me at a time when my soul needed it!  - Adult Student ​

Technical and with feeling

My 3rd grade daughter has been studying with Christine for 1.5 years now and is already playing beautiful pieces that I just love to hear her practice! I am amazed at the progression she has made and how Christine is capable of getting her to play not only technically correct, but also with feeling and touch. The group lessons, recitals, and adjudications that Christine offers and participates in are such an excellent benefit with piano being a solo instrument. It is wonderful that my daughter can be connected to others who are also learning to play. I greatly appreciate Christine's calm manner and ability to pick up on what interests my daughter. She has even helped her compose some of her own music! Thank you, Christine, for introducing her in such a positive way to the world of piano!

Learning the basics, playing by ear

My two daughters have been studying with Christine for about 2 1/2 years. WE LOVE HER! Not only is she a fantastic and gifted performer, her teaching style is a perfect combination of patiently teaching the basics and encouraging my children to play by ear and explore music they love. I am amazed each time I hear my girls play at how much they have accomplished in such a short time. They play anything from Beethoven and Mozart to Katy Perry and tunes from Annie. - Cori​

Loving piano!

My son really loves piano and a lot of that is because of your style.  I obviously have my hands full during practice so I don't hear much (which is probably healthy for him!) but I see him progressing but not stressing!  I love it.  And, I just love listening to him practice.  Thank you so much for getting us in this year.  We're so grateful.  - Susie
