Our mission is to provide students of all ages and skill levels with a nurturing and inspiring learning environment where they can cultivate their musical talents and passion.

Our Teaching Philosophy

Joy's vibrant teaching style emphasizes a holistic approach to music education. We believe that a strong foundation in musical fundamentals, including theory, technique, and rhythm, is essential for artistic development. Our carefully structured curriculum exposes students to a wide range of musical styles, from classical to contemporary, fostering versatility and a love for diverse genres.

Joy fosters a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where students feel comfortable exploring their creativity and pushing their musical boundaries. She works closely with each student to identify their musical interests and aspirations, ensuring that their lessons are both challenging and personally fulfilling.

Customized Learning Experience

We recognize that every student learns at their own pace and has unique musical goals. That's why we offer personalized lesson plans designed to meet individual needs. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps on the piano or an advanced student striving for mastery, Joy will guide you every step of the way.

Our lessons are available in 30, 45, and 60-minute sessions, allowing for flexibility and a learning pace that suits your schedule and preferences.

Performance Opportunities

We believe that performing is an integral part of musical growth. To provide our students with valuable stage experience, we hold twice-yearly studio recitals where students showcase their progress and build confidence.

Music Theory & Syllabus Evaluation Program

To further enhance your musical understanding, we strongly encourage participation in the Oregon Music Teachers Association's Syllabus Evaluation Program. This program provides a formal assessment of your music theory knowledge and performance skills, helping you track your progress and gain valuable feedback.

Building a Foundation for Lifelong Music

At Joy Novak Piano, we strive to cultivate a lifelong love of music in our students. Our goal is to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and passion to enjoy and appreciate music throughout your life.
