About Diana
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Piano Teaching from the University of Utah and have have been teaching piano lessons for many, many years because it is my passion.
I am also a certified elementary music teacher currently teaching at Foxboro Elementary.
I offer at least 4 performance opportunities per year to my piano students, which really motivates their practicing and increases their circle of support.
I currently travel to my students' homes, with the exception of adult students who live more than 5 miles away.
I love teaching the structure of music, how it all fits together, so students are able to read patterns, not just notes. I also love teaching a variety of musical styles, and helping students find the styles that are the most fun and motivating for them. It is satisfying to see students progress over time and how this builds their self-esteem and their enjoyment of music. Playing the piano is an valuable and enjoyable skill, and I love seeing the joy it brings to my students.
I love working with children and I am a certified music teacher currently teaching at Foxboro Elementary. I am also a certified Musikgarten teacher, and have taught many Musikgarten classes to preschoolers in the past. This has helped me to better understand how children learn music and has improved my piano teaching.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music with an emphasis in Piano Pedagogy.
I am a state-certified Elementary Music Teacher, grades K-6.
I am a certified Musikgarten teacher for ages 0-9 years.

Looking at different approaches together and assessing what the student already knows as well as his or her aptitude for learning music at the piano. If they have already been studying piano I have them play some of their music for me. Then I decide what approach, method and types of music would be best for them to start learning with me.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
My two kids have taken piano lessons with Mrs. Portzline for 9 months now, and I have noticed that their piano abilities have greatly improved. Mrs. Portzline has focused a lot on developing their ear for hearing music, transposing it, and picking out melodies. They're still beginners, but I can see that they are developing a great foundation for practical piano skills.
Diana Portzline succeeds at getting my son excited about piano at every lesson. She has an excellent manner with her students and communicates well with me as a mother.
Diana makes learning piano fun and positive for my kids. They enjoy practicing (most of the time, anyway) and look forward to their lessons. They are also learning a lot. Diana also individualizes her approach to the kids' specific needs, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all course. She has a lot of knowledge/skills beyond basic note reading and can add in chords + lead sheets, learning by ear, and more.
Diana Portzline is the most knowledgeable music teacher we know and we know several great teachers. All three of my kids have connected with her and her teaching style and are thriving as a result of this experience and her care as a teacher. She selects music based on the child, their skills, and preferences which gives them a more custom experience and helps them to connect more to the music. We will be with her as long as she will keep us!
I have enrolled my daughter for another year with Diana Portzline because, as a teacher, she understands appropriate expectations for children in piano training. Diana finds lesson material for her students that balances between challenge and enjoyment. I appreciate her efforts to communicate with parents regarding the child’s progress and curriculum.
