A Bit About Me

A Patient Piano Instructor. I currently work as a Special Education Para-Educator. I am comfortable with teaching students with disabilities, as well as gifted.

I am passionate about music and teaching it to eager learners. I began playing the piano at eight, which helped me learn other instruments like flute, recorder, tin whistle, tenor saxophone, marimba, guitar, and ukulele. Besides playing instruments, I sing and have performed in several auditioned groups, including a performance with the Colorado Symphony. I also traveled with the Continental Singers, performing across the USA and internationally. My favorite performances were with women's ensembles, HeartStrings and The Three of Us, where we sang various genres. Additionally, I have three years of classroom experience as a music educator.

First lesson is always free!

Our first lesson is a chance to get to know one another and decide if we would like to commit to work with one another before a weekly lesson is scheduled. I want to learn about my student and what your goals are, and vice versa, I will share with you what I have to offer. Lessons are offered weekly in half hour or forty-five minute time slots agreed upon by instructor, student, and parent (if under 18 years old).

Student Testimonials

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Cheri and I whole-heartedly recommend her. My 3 kids have learned not only how to play piano, but also how to perform in a low stress environment in various venues around town, and how to squeeze in practice when time is tight. If things needed to be postponed, that was ok. If the tempo or notes weren’t perfect, that was ok, too. Piano opened up the self-confidence to pursue band/orchestra in high school. Cheri has taught life lessons that have been ‘instrumental’ for my kids!” Gail

“If you are looking for a piano teacher for yourself or your child, you cannot get a better mentor than Cheri Powers. I call her a mentor because that is exactly what she is. She is a guide, a motivator, a cheerleader, and a friend…My son Sean started lessons when he was 5 with a different teacher, but we ended up seeking someone else when he was 7 because she was too hard on him and it demotivated him to the point of wanting to quit. We found Cheri to replace the previous person…And kept her for the following 11 years…because of that he has become an amazing pianist! And, he insisted on continuing lessons right up until the week before he went to college…My son now has a lifelong joy in playing the piano. And I have Cheri to thank for that.” Danica
