Eliason School of Music | Piano Lessons Portland

This music school is fabulous. It is well run and has highly trained instructors. A cut above the rest.

We have been attending Eliason Music for nearly 5.5 years and greatly appreciate and value our time in our weekly lessons! Our student has loved the fun and supportive environment and I’ve appreciated the ability to work with the instructor, Chris, who has built a wonderful space that has allowed a young child to expand his love of music to now take on a second instrument. It’s been the right balance of fun, practice, and space to learn about music, grow in playing an instrument, and I’d highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking to learn more about music and expand their interest!

My daughters take violin and piano lessons here. The teachers are always kind and encouraging. The rates are fair and clearly lined out. No surprise fees! We look forward to lessons every week!

My children have taken music lessons for many years at Eliason and it has been the most wonderful experience! Chris (my middle daughter's cello teacher) and Corrin (our older two daughters' piano teacher) are both so warm, talented, and skilled at engaging with their students. We especially love getting to hear all the kids play in recitals, it's such a great opportunity for them to develop confidence and appreciate how much fun it can be to perform. I cannot recommend Eliason more highly.

My daughter started her violin lesson with Chris in Kindergarten, and it's been about 5 years now. Chris is a fantastic violinist, and a seriously talented teacher too. He's got this way of making lessons fun and engaging, and he's super approachable, which is awesome for kids. Chris is also great at tailoring the lessons based on her progres. He blends the technical stuff with the fun musical bits perfectly. Plus, he's incredibly kind and even helped out when her violin needed a quick fix, which was a huge help! If you ever get the chance, go see Chris perform! He's incredible. We're so blessed to have found him!!

Chris, who taught our son piano was an incredible teacher for young kids. Our son is six and has never taken any formal music classes and was excited to learn piano. Chris’s style is academic yet foundational meaning our son might have struggled with keeping attention, but we could tell our son‘s technique and foundational knowledge of piano and music in general was established. Chris was very, I cannot repeat enough, very patient with our son, keeping him on task as much as one could. I highly recommend Eliason for young kid music lessons.

A great music school for beginners and advanced of all ages! I started violin lessons with Chris in 2020 or 2021 as an adult in their 30s and my 11 year old daughter started piano lessons with Corrin 2 months ago. Both have been awesome, understanding and kind instructors! I love the virtual and in person options.

We love Eliason, particularly our teacher Corrin! My kids could not be more different and she is able to teach them both. My daughter approaches music very intellectually. She wants to play obscure pieces (which Corrin kindly arranges!) and explore music theory. My son is neurodivergent and explores music chaotically and emotionally. Corrin structures everything intentionally to keep him engaged, always ending with a fun game. I’m so impressed by her skills and adaptability. Both kids have deepened their love of music under her instruction.

My son is greatly enjoying his guitar lessons at Eliason! He's been progressing steadily and has grown in confidence over the months. We're so happy with his growth as a musician and he loves his teacher!

I am a student who goes to elison school of music. I think I improved a lot in my piano skill. I am having a great time here!!!
