With 16 years experience in piano instruction, I cultivate musical passion in students of all ages, but have mainly worked with children ages 3 -14 years old. My tailored approach blends technique with artistry, unlocking each student's unique potential. Aside from my 25+ years playing the piano, I also am studying the steel tongue drum, fipple flute, & ukelele. While I am not fluent in Spanish or ASL, I do know some basic communication that I can utilize. I genuinely enjoy creating lesson plans for you/your children and fostering an environment where you are free to grow and explore at your own pace. I have successfully worked with a diverse clientele with various needs, including children and adults on the autism spectrum, persons with ADD/ADHD, left-handed inviduduals, and people with varied physical impairments. I believe anyone can thrive in the right environment & I would love to guide you/your children through learning a new skill set, along with growing and exploring your passions/curiosities in the world of music :) Let's get started!
"My son won musician of the month at school with Ariel’s guidance and is very much enjoying classes with her. He is 5 years old and already starting to read music!

Ty Schowe’s coaching journey began somewhat by chance, but his competitive drive has shaped it into something much more. After years of private lessons with a top level tennis pro in Colorado, his natural teaching ability led him from a stressful college poker career to becoming a full-time teaching professional under one of the sport’s best mentors. His passion for competition, rooted in childhood hockey and soccer championships, instilled a deep appreciation for precision, discipline, and daily practice—principles he applied to coaching. He transformed youth high-performance programs, built elite junior training systems, and refined strategy and movement for players of all levels. Five years ago, he discovered pickleball and quickly saw the gaps in player development. Even advanced players lacked a true system for training, leaving critical skills like minimizing unforced errors, reading the court, and strengthening the mental game untapped. Now, on a mission to change that—he's bringing a structured, high-performance approach to the sport, helping players realize their full potential, and making winning feel almost unfair. With pickleball evolving, those who train with purpose are rising to the top— so there’s no better time to begin your growth.
"I loved practicing the form needed for each type of stance and shot.

"Honestly, I felt like the lesson really hit the mark, especially with how Fin emphasized the importance of consistency, which is something I’ve struggled with. Although I still have some technical adjustments to make, I left feeling more aware of my stance and movement on court. Still, I think with a bit more practice, I could definitely see noticeable progress. If you're aiming to fine-tune your game, it might be worth giving Fin a shot.
Fin
Experienced golf instructor with the ability to introduce the game to the most novice beginners or tweak the experienced, competitive swing. I’ve been playing golf my entire life from the time my father brought me to the driving range & his clubs were as tall as me! The game is easy, but it can also be as hard as you want to make it. I like to start from where you are and enhance your game as much or as little as you’d like!
"A wonderful productive lesson.
