Jeremy Wilson2024-10-31 Mrs. DeAnna Howe is an amazing talent in performance as well as instruction of music theory & piano. She deftly cultivates proper playing technique in her students throughout their progression as a player at any level. Her ability to imbue her passion for the piano & the musical language into every lesson brings the student to the highest form of an education possible. DeAnna has great patience for the student, that is coupled compassion as they gain in skill with the piano. I am honored to have her as my instructor & mentor in my endeavor towards proficiency as a player of the piano. A true blessing to all who look to learn as a beginner or hone your skills from any level of aptitude. mehrdad malihi2024-09-09 Dr. Deanna Howe is undoubtedly one of the best music teachers in our community. Equipped with many years of academic knowledge and expertise and award winning performances and background, she is also a very dedicated and passionate teacher whose love of music and teaching inspires even the youngest of her students to practice, learn and attend her classes with "joy" and excitement. She is very generous with her time and efforts to improve the students, and my wife and I are so grateful and amazed by my 8- year old son's rapid progress in the last few months since we were given the great opportunity to start classes with her after we had tried some other in-person classes in the area. Highly recommended! Dustin Miller2024-09-06 Both of my kids and I have taken piano lessons from Ms. DeAnna for over 8 years. She is very experienced with kids (and adults too). She is kind, patient, encouraging yet still firm on setting realistic and achievable expectations. She has been an integral part of our family's music journey. She will not just inspire you to play the piano proficiently, but to develop a deep love and appreciation for music. It's through her gentle guidance, my kids have thrived musically. We credit all of our kids' success to her. Her lessons are very structure including technique, theory, sight reading and repertoire. Very well rounded. Sara Xi2024-09-06 Ms. Deanna Howe is an absolute treasure. She's dedicated to bringing joy to those who love to play piano. She is very experienced with teaching both kids (suzuki method) and adult learners. She is also kind and caring. I've taken lessons with her for nearly 9 years. She understands the constraint of adult learners and works with me to practice with limited time. She's also taught my kid since he was little. Now 8 years later my kid is a great piano player but more importantly, he loves music and takes pride in how well he can play piano. We recommend piano lessons with Ms. Deanna wholeheartedly! EunJoo Lee2024-09-06 Ms. DeAnna is absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly positive and patient with all her students. Both of my girls loved her teaching, and they thrived thanks to her guidance. Although they are no longer taking piano lessons, if they ever decide to return to it, they would undoubtedly request her, without question. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have crossed paths with her and for the musical growth she fostered in my girls. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. DeAnna to anyone. She is not only a trustworthy teacher, but also available for virtual lessons, making her even more accessible. On a personal note, I feel like Ms. DeAnna has become more than just a teacher to my girls—she feels like a friend to me as well. She’s an amazing teacher and an extraordinary human being! Andre Payet2024-09-05 DeAnna Howe has been an absolute godsend. In just over two years my knowledge of music theory and my playing has evolved immensely. I've been learning JS Bach and piano theory on an instrument (7 string bass) that is not used in the classical world and yet DeAnna took me on. Thank you DeAnna! Andre Payet. Jussi Ketonen2024-09-05 DeAnna is easily the best piano teacher I have ever had. Learning piano can be lonely and frustrating. That can all be overcome by patience, humor, exquisite attention to the music, deep knowledge and decades of experience. You are in good hands. Wei Liu2024-09-04 My daughter started studying piano under Dr. Howe at five. She has learnt so much in the past three years. Dr. Howe is great with working kids and kids listen to her and love her. Her credential as a Ph.D. in music on piano performance, her study at the renowned Mozarteum Salzburg under renowned teachers and pianists, and her piano performance experiences in Europe and US are essential to educate students to be professional pianists and musical. Dr. Howe is the best piano/music teacher you can find in Portland, Oregon. I am so lucky to have her as my daughter’s piano teacher! Thank you, Dr. Howe! Highly recommended! Yunfei Han2024-09-04 My 6 year old son has been having piano lessons with Dr. Howe for about 2.5 years. She is very good in techniques and is very helpful when kids are struggling. She knows how to motivate kids. My son started young when he was 3.5 years old. Dr. Howe use Suzuki method for younger kids like him. It works really well. I’m pretty sure we will stay with Dr. Howe for the long term. I recommend anyone who’s seriously interested in piano learning to get a lesson with Dr. Howe. Sina Amini2024-09-04 Dr. Howe is an outstanding piano teacher who helps students reach their full potential. Her deep knowledge of music, patient guidance, and passion for teaching create a truly inspiring learning environment. I highly recommend her to piano students of all levels.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 10 reviews
