Piano Lessons Portland

Norm is more than just a great piano teacher! He has helped my daughter learn and appreciate music as a whole over the last several years. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Lessons with Norm have been wonderful for our son. Norm is consistent and patient teacher, always working to make our son comfortable and always working to truly know our son as an individual! We have seen our son quickly absorbing the lessons and looking forward to his next session!

Norm Zarr is a tremendous piano teacher. I have studied with him during three separate blocks during my piano training adventure and his style of lessons helps me make breakthroughs the fastest. He is easy to work with and has a great personality and sense of humor. And he’s very patient. ;) Highly recommend!

I am pleased to say the least that in my search for a great piano teacher Norm Zarr was by far well received. I am 33 years of age out of the twin city area of Minnesota where remote lessons were essential to my time well spent with Mr. Zarr being that his studio is in Portland Oregon. What I liked most of all is he focused on what I wanted out of the lessons which was how to read sheet music well. Not only did he do that, but he also taught other skills as well which I had no knowledge of prior to these lessons. I strongly recommend at least an hour session because playing piano and instruction is key to developing a good foundation not in just piano but also in music. I also wanted to mention that when seeking for teachers in my local area it was not a good experience so when Norm reached out to me during my search I was grateful because it seemed to me that not many piano teachers teach adults although they seemed willing. From my understanding he teaches both adolescents and adults. I am glad to be having Norm be apart of my piano journey until I master the piano.

Each week my piano lessons with Norm are fun. He’s a great teacher. As an adult beginner, I've been doing lessons 2 years and my progress is good. I'm learning to read music faster than I expected. Each week we work on new songs as well as review my favorites.

Norm is so knowledgeable about all aspects of music. He really enjoys teaching. I’m always relaxed at the lessons, and we progress at a comfortable rate. There’s always something new to learn, new songs in different styles, blues improvisation, playing by ear. I really enjoy it all.
