About Amberland Music

Welcome to Amberland Music Piano Studio.  With 35 years of teaching experience, Dr. Lynne Garrett brings a broad knowledge of repertoire to her teaching, a commitment to reading the music score with accuracy and historical reference, and an understanding of how to develop technique and style as a means to uncovering a deeply personal expression of the music.  

Throughout her life, Dr. Lynne Garrett maintained a dual career as pianist and violinist. She studied piano in Santa Barbara with the renowned Hungarian pedagogue Dusi Mura, and completed a BM in Piano Performance from UC Santa Barbara. Further studies brought her to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, where she worked with Rebecca Penneys, earning a MM and DMA in Piano Performance and Literature.  Dr. Garrett subsequently held faculty appointments at the University of Central Arkansas, Pittsburg State University in Kansas, and Humboldt State University in California.  She freelanced as a violinist and chamber musician, playing as a violinist in symphony orchestras wherever she resided. She was a founding and performing member of 'Colloquy', a new music ensemble, that promoted and commissioned new works. They performed in the US, Mexico, and the UK. 

Dr. Garrett returned to private teaching in 2006, settling on the California Central Coast. Her students have won regional and statewide awards through MTNA, CAMPT and other statewide and national competitions. She has recently relocated to Eugene Oregon and is accepting new students.
