Experienced tutor in Piano in Missoula, Janelda offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

My kids have been taking lessons with Janelda for over 4 years now. I really appreciate how patient she is with my girls and how encouraging and positive she is in her teaching methods. They are learning both a practical lesson in playing piano/music theory, and a life lesson in how disciplined practice brings about mastery. Highly recommended!

Our 9-year old daughter, Lily, has loved being a student of Janelda's for this past year. Lily came to Janelda with no experience, and within a few months Lily was playing a piece for us at a recital. Janelda is always encouraging and warm with Lily in her teaching style, and I've seen my daughter's confidence increase as a result of this. We've given Lily the opportunity to try many different activities to see what interests her the most, and she has stuck with piano in large part due to the relationship and fun she has with Janelda. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced piano teacher.

She’s a great and talented teacher. Her kindness, patience and method makes my daughter enjoy each class!

As a senior adult piano student, Janelda has the patience of a saint. She is always providing words of encouragement, which put me at ease immediately even when encountering material that is difficult to learn. Simply from her demeanor, one can tell that she truly loves music and wishes to instill the same in her students. She goes out of her way to explain the background of various composers, as well as how music has changed throughout time. I highly recommend this instructor.

Janelda is a fantastic instructor! I've had the pleasure of working with her for almost a year now and I've actually learned more from her than all of my other years combined through school, various instructors, etc.

I am an adult student and Janelda has always made it a point to learn at my own pace. She's very passionate about music and goes in depth about composers and pieces to really tie the lesson together.

I highly recommend her to anyone just beginning or advanced!

Mrs. Janelda is so patient and wonderful with our kids who are 4 and 7. She does a great job of keeping them on task but in a way that they find fun! We look forward to many more lessons with her!

She motivates my son and is very supportive of him. She challenges him to do better; a positive role model. An outstanding teacher. Easy to work with.

My daughter loves coming to her lessons and never misses a day of practice! Janelda is patient and talented and always has positive things to say to encourage her students! My daughter loves her!
