Bethany Schamp has been sharing her love of music and teaching for nearly 20 years in the Willamette Valley. She provides piano lessons for individuals of all levels and all ages. Her teaching style is very much based on the learner, covering everything from music theory, playing by ear, composition, improvisation, sight-reading, and more, with a classical-based approach. She also has too many books and animals and owns an embarrassing number of pianos.
"Music is a language. I believe everyone has something to say and my goal is to give people the skills they need to express themselves musically. I provide a space that is safe and comfortable for everyone to do so.
“ A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ”

"Our son started taking lessons with Bethany at the age of 6 and is still playing piano at the age of 11!!! Bethany is an amazing teacher and is very good with children. It has been really great to hear/see our son's progress on the piano, and as a young musician. Over the last several years our son has developed a real interest in, and appreciation of, music, which we attribute in large part to Bethany's guidance/instruction, and ability as a teacher. We highly recommend Bethany as a piano teacher, and are thankful that she is local to the Corvallis community."
