About me, Joanne Raichart
I am excited to be teaching in the Hudson Valley. Prior to teaching here in Washingtonville, New York, I taught piano in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Austin, Texas; Boise, Idaho; Clarkston, Washington; Pocatello and Driggs, Idaho. Combined, this represents over 40 years of teaching experience. I teach all ages and levels. Originally from Driggs, Idaho, I studied piano with Dr. Chester Hill and at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I have done free lance work for many years as an accompanist for low brass players and vocalists. I am currently a member of the Music Teachers National Association, and a few years ago I authored an adult piano course, Piano Arts: An Adult Approach. I spend my free time in the American Museum of Natural History in NYC as a volunteer in exhibits. I’ve been married for 36 years to Randy. We have 4 married children and 3 grandchildren–Noah, Claire, and Gavin.
