About Teresa
Hi! I'm Teresa A. Pash, of Pash Performance-"Where the Music Flows". I am a piano teacher and performer for 30+ years, currently residing in Nashville, Michigan. I was classically trained with 10 years of private study under Freddy Kruko-Kietzmann (Hastings, MI) and received my Bachelors Degree from the University of Puget Sound (Tacoma, WA) in 1986 with studies in performance (4 years) as well as pedagogy. I became a certified Kindermusik® Instructor in 2004 and later studied jazz performance under Arlene McDaniel with MSU’s Community Music School.
I believe in a multimedia approach to teaching. On my Pash Performance YouTube channel I have created training videos on piano technique as well as an animated Children's video ("The Adventures of Clef & Note: Intro. to Manuscript") to teach students Manuscript reading/writing. I have also directed/coached many bands and performed in various ensemble groups, including the Thornapple Jazz Orchestra. I've released three CDs. CDBaby and other online stores carry my product line digitally. I yearly perform for Davenport University & Baker College Commencements at VanAndel arena with crowds up to 15,00 people. I've performed on EightWest PBS TV and on the WGVU Morning Show with Shelley Irwin. Currently I perform at the English Inn in Eaton Rapids, the Nashville Baptist church, and the United Methodist church in Nashville, MI. Several of my students have become musical directors, piano teachers, and active musicians in their churches and community, as well.
I love what I do, as it is my passion as well as my career. I love to inspire students to do their very best and to bring out that spark of creativity within each one. I regularly host school-age student recitals, adult student soirées, and other activities for each to get to know one another and also to feel comfortable sharing their music with others. I want to foster a lifelong learner and I definitely see the benefits in all areas of their lives.
As a performer, I can't think of anything easier for me to do than to play the piano. My specialty is the 20s to 30s vintage music although I play and record for all genres.
When I went to college I had a friend that wanted to take piano lessons, so she was actually my first student. From there it just kept building and I have taught for over 30 years.
I started lessons at the age of seven and continued for 10 years in classical piano training. I then studied four more years in college and graduated from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington with four years of piano performance and studies in piano pedagogy. Later I became Kindermusik certified, which greatly help me to work with young children. I also continued with training in jazz piano performance at MSU's community music school.

First we do a 'meet and greet'. If the student is a minor, the parent will need to be there to fill out the registration forms. At this time I will also evaluate how they are musically by testing their ear training, musical ability, etc. I will also ask about their various interests so I get to know the student and how they learn. From there we usually assign books and answer more questions. The actual lessons will start the following week.
All ages, with the oldest student at 85 years and the youngest at four. I have also worked with a wheelchair-bound child as well as an autistic student.
Make sure they have some experience. Also, make sure they belong to a professional organization. I think collaboration with fellow instructors makes for a higher quality teacher, in general.
I was awarded "Teacher of the Year" in 2017 by the Battle Creek Area Music Teachers Association where I have been a long-term member and current president. It was quite the honor.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
They should be realistic about their goals and have them well-defined. The more the student knows what they want going into a learning setting, then the more they can measure if the goals have been reached. Communication is incredibly vital.

Two of my daughters were students of Teresa's. One went on to compete at the state level with the Student Achievement Testing. The other used her skills in high school as a percussionist. She is currently teaching my special needs grandson. She is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and flexible with scheduling. Teresa is a pro who teaches the basics of chord structure and music theory weaving all of this seamlessly into the lesson. Her students are enriched for their lifetime and many have gone on to perform in their communities, churches, civic organizations etc.
