Learn Piano with Jordan

Music brings life a sense of balance and beauty. For 17 years, I've had the privilege of sharing music as a piano teacher and professional pianist. Two things set me apart: I am a jazz pianist who also plays classical music, and I understand the world of performing well. I also had tendonitis ten years ago. This led to a complete overhaul of my technique. Now, all my students can play with comfort and ease. I am happy to guide students of all levels and interests, fostering their love for music while developing their technical skills and nurturing their musicality. I feel privileged to mentor other pianists.

I feel that my piano lessons are music therapy. I have benefitted from Jordan's encouragement of a curious, exploratory, and non-judgemental approach to my own piano playing. He's really good at coming up with sayings that are useful for self-cueing during my own practice time. However, the sayings aren't just for piano- they're mentalities that just apply to life in general! I love my lessons every week because they're my self care time. The lessons have improved my piano technique, made me more aware of my posture outside of piano class, and helped me feel more at peace with where I am in my piano journey!

I highly recommend Jordan Christianson for piano lessons. Our boy/girl twins began with him at age 6 and they flourished in the years we were lucky enough to have him. What I found so surprising is that they never complained about practicing, like I did growing up. Jordan was able to teach them theory and how to read music in a way that made them want to learn more, practice more, and become better players. He does this without a heavy hand, which was important to us. He gave our children the best possible start to lives full of learning and music.

It was actually very hard to find someone that could help… I thought lessons might be like what the classes at [music school] were like. They were kind of straight from the book… It is great that the format is more open so we can focus on my goals

I started taking lessons with Jordan after I experienced some pain playing piano, and the lessons with him have completely transformed how I play and even sit at the piano. Once we got over those growing pains, Jordan and I started working out arrangements to tunes and diving more into harmony. Jordan has a unique gift for explaining complex music theory concepts in a way that anyone could understand, and he can really transfer these abstractions from mere ideas to the actual piano playing.

Jordan is a wonderful teacher who explains things intuitively and clearly. He can diagnose subtle differences in movement (and in virtual lessons!). Jordan also integrated our work on movement with musical concepts in creative ways that made my process of re-learning to play the piano much more fun - and helped me stay in touch with the music. It's safe to say that if it weren't for his help, I wouldn't be able to play piano today. I couldn't recommend Jordan more strongly!
