Playing music is a gift that lasts a lifetime. I love helping both children and adults experience the joy of making music.

Hi, my name is Rachel Stone. I help people of all ages and experiences levels achieve their dream of playing music. My fun and engaging lessons are a unique experience  - nothing like the dull lessons you might remember from your childhood. I keep students engaged and having fun as they learn both music and essential life skills.

 

Many people try to learn to play an instrument on their own or with a teacher who doesn't motivate them and they struggle to stay motivated to practice and improve. As a former elementary school music teacher, I know how to create fun and meaningful music lessons so my students experience all of the joy and benefits of learning to play an instrument.

 

My students got to choose the songs they want to play. I teach a stop by step method where my students learn one new skill at a time so they can be successful. Visit my Facebook page at Rachel Stone Private Music Lessons to learn more.

 

My availability is limited and I don’t accept everyone who contacts me - so don’t delay in signing up! I look forward to meeting you soon.

 

 

With my dynamic, fun, and personalized approach to teaching music, you will stay motivated to practice at home and receive all of the gifts that playing music gives you.

I help my students feel the joy that comes from playing an instrument, playing beautiful music that moves them, and playing music they love with ease.

I help my students feel the sense of accomplishment when they master a skill or a song on their instrument.

I help my students learn determination and discipline to practice and continue to improve their skills.

I help my students feel the sense of connection with other musicians throughout their lives and the sense of camaraderie in the music community.

I help my students learn to understand and appreciate music, no matter what they do with their lives, and more.

Lesson Details

I specialize in teaching beginning and intermediate piano and clarinet students and all levels of flute students.

Lessons conveniently take place in your home and are 30, 45, or 60 minutes long.

I teach students from age 3 to adult in Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Evergreen, Golden, and Westminster. For anyone who lives further away or in another state, I offer Zoom lessons.

Music Lessons Are For Everyone!

Everyone can learn to play an instrument.

  • I have taught every student I have ever had to play songs in their first lesson!
  • It doesn't matter how old you are or how much musical experience you have, if any.
  • Even people who have trouble keeping the beat, or people who have been told they have no musical talent can learn to play the piano.
  • My step by step method of teaching allows my students to only focus on one new thing at a time so they can be successful!
  • Lessons with me are fun and enjoyable.
  • If you aren't sure that you can learn to play an instrument, try one lesson with me and let me prove to you that you can do it with my guidance!
Piano Lessons in Arvada, Golden, Evergreen, and Westminster Colorado

“My son began piano lessons with Rachel nearly two years ago and we have been very happy working with her. He has progressed steadily and is continually challenged to improve. She offers musical pieces that fit his personal interests as well as more traditional pieces with increasing complexity. We hope to continue learning with her for many more years to come.”

“My 9 yr-old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Rachel for the past 1.5 years. Rachel is always punctual and easy to communicate with. Rachel's music collection has helped my daughter advance quite a bit in her playing--with music ranging from the Harry Potter and Star Wars themes to simple pieces by Bach and Tchaikovsky. We have enjoyed working with Rachel and recommend her!”

“Rachel is so fun to work with. Every week she comes to my home ready to go with bags of music and worksheets. As an adult piano student, I appreciate her approach which is intuitive and gets you playing real songs quickly, but is also practical and methodical. Her program is very well organized, and my playing has improved immensely in a short period of time. Highly recommended!.”

My Story

Rachel Stone | Music Lessons in Arvada, Golden, Evergreen, and Westminster Colorado

I started playing the piano when I was 7 years old. ​When I was 10, ​I started playing the flute. I loved it and ​I continue to play piano and flute as an adult.

In college I learned to play the clarinet and all of the other wind instruments at a basic level. I started teaching elementary general music right after I graduated from ​the University of Redlands with my Bachelors of Music in Music Education and my K-12 Music Teaching License. I taught elementary band, choir, and general music for 9 years at multiple elementary schools in California and Colorado.

I now teach private lessons full time instead of teaching in a classroom. I enjoy connecting with students ​personally and watching them grow as people and musicians.

​I'll never forget my first flute teacher and how she ​changed my life. She was very patient, kind, and fun, ​and she pushed me to improve and continue learning at the same time. She changed the course of my life by introducing me to the joy of playing an instrument.

​Because of my childhood flute teacher, I continued playing music. I ​eventually decided I wanted to be an elementary school music teacher and a private music teacher. I ​strive to give that same experience to my students and ​impact them personally, no matter where they ​ultimately go in life.
