West Seattle piano teacher Dick Cady: Welcome, new WSB sponsor

Today we’re welcoming one of our newest sponsors, Dick Cady, who offers piano lessons in West Seattle to both beginners and advanced students. It’s a WSB tradition for new sponsors to get the chance to let you know about their business; Dick says he tries to create the right environment to help students learn: “One of the things I hear from my students often is, ‘This is exactly what I wanted to know.’ I’ve been teaching for some time, and knowing when to teach something is as important as knowing what to teach. Also, my students often say how much fun they are having. I like to have fun and laugh in the lesson too. Whether it’s the parent of a beginning child or an older transfer student, an adult who has been playing a long time or one who is just starting, most people seek me out because they have heard from a friend how much they’ve learned. I’m always honored to get a recommendation from a student. I think they keep coming because there is always more to learn in music – and this goes for me too – and because of the supportive atmosphere.” Dick also has experience working with students who have performed in national and regional competitions. Just this part spring, two of his students who are part of the Garfield High School Jazz Band received Outstanding Soloist awards at the Essentially Ellington competition in New York. Over the past 10 years he has sent several students to that festival, while some of his middle schoolers have received awards at festivals and competitions closer to home. Piano teacher Dick Cady is online at dickcady.com; by phone, he’s at 206-762-8679.
