Our piano teachers

JANNA BRUENE

Janna Bruene has enjoyed teaching piano to children and adults for many, many years, focusing on creating beautiful melody, strong rhythm and meaningful harmony in all kinds of music. Classical music is her first love, but she listens carefully for what appeals to her students and how they learn, often using improvisation to deepen their skills. She holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in music, and has done work in Dalcroze Eurhythmics, choral conducting, and vocal coaching. Janna grew up on a Midwestern farm and loves the out-of-doors and wild animals. Curling up with a good book is another joy!

Lessons with Janna are offered on Thursdays and Saturdays.
