Rachel Gildner
Welcome, Flagstaff! I am the owner of Peace Piano Studio.
I grew up in the small, coastal town of Morehead City, North Carolina where I began taking piano lessons at the age of 5.
My first piano teacher, Miss Jan, inspired creativity and expression even in her young students. She emphasized the importance of connection through music. This is what I aspire to do with my students today.
After studying classical piano repertoire for over 10 years, I attended the Florida State University to continue my music education on the Horn. Since graduating with my degree in Music, I have taught a rigorous schedule of sometimes over 40 private and group piano lessons a week. Throughout my career, I have developed curriculum, ran piano camps, performed for different communities, and been active with my personal practice and growth. I am also currently offering harmonium lessons.
I moved to Flagstaff, Arizona in 2017. Currently, I'm offering piano lessons from ages 5-100 years old out of Infusing Music Studios.
In addition to teaching, I'm a certified yoga teacher, and I enjoy being in nature, making plant medicine and organic clothing, eating delicious foods, and spending time with my friends and family.
