I’m Bonnie Lynn Pausic,
Blue Skies Piano is founded on the belief that my students' musical education is of the utmost importance. I am committed to meeting those educational needs through every avenue possible: instruction in piano performance, music theory, music history, ear training, improvisation, composition, as well as personal mentoring and character building. As a result, a high percentage of my clientele is referred to me by students and their parents, musical contacts, and colleagues.
I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and provide the best private musical education possible to you and your children.
“Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire.” –William Yeats
