Biography

Briel Pettit is a lifelong pianist and has enjoyed teaching piano for 7 years. She believes that music is an essential part of a healthy life and hopes to share her love of music with others. She is currently studying Music Therapy at Utah State University with a minor in Piano Pedagogy. She has studied piano since the age of 6 under Penny Sam, Jacqueline King (NCTM), and Professor Janae Williams (NCTM) of Brigham Young University. She also received master classes from Shane Bowles and Jon Schmidt, concert pianists and composers. Along with the piano, Briel enjoys playing the organ, guitar, clarinet, violin, tenor saxophone and ukulele. When she isnâ??t creating music, she spends her time hiking, swimming, camping, snowboarding, traveling, and living life to the fullest! Briel believes that learning piano should be a fun and exciting experience full of challenges and growth. She is invested in helping her students succeed and adapts to meet each of their needs. Students will learn various styles of music and gain problem-solving skills as they study the language of music. Students are encouraged to practice on their own to learn at a faster rate, and lessons will be a safe place to learn, play and express themselves musically. I hope to help each student discover the joy of piano and enjoy every minute of their learning experience!
