About Us
Since she was six years old, Cassandra Bak has played the piano and cannot imagine life without music being a part of it. She grew up in Missoula, MT, and was involved in the homeschool choir in junior high and high school. Cassi graduated with her bachelor's degree in Piano Performance with a minor in Worship Arts from Grand Canyon University in 2019, and then with her Master's in Piano Performance from the University of Montana in 2022. She enjoys collaborating and performing with other musicians and continuing to learn new music. When Cassi is not teaching or practicing, she enjoys time with family and friends outdoors, hiking, paddle boarding, and exploring. She also enjoys road trips, reading, and painting when time allows.
Cassandra Bak has experience teaching both group and private piano lessons at the University of Montana during her years there as the Graduate Teacher's Assistant. She is also a teacher at PLAY Piano Academy in Missoula and enjoys working with beginner and intermediate students ranging from ages 6 to 14. She has gained much experience teaching under the guidance of the fabulous teachers at the UM and PLAY Piano Academy.
Services
Individual Lessons
Private lessons are offered for either an hour or 30 mins. Private lessons are one-on-one with the instructor, focusing on the student's personal goals for the piano. Lessons are holistic, developing the students reading, ear, listening skills, and critical thinking.
Accompanist
Seeking a pianist for your choir, ensemble, worship team, or band? Are you a college student looking for an accompanist for your jury or recital? Cassandra Bak has performed with small and large ensembles and bands and has accompanied both vocalists and instrumentalists for their juries and recitals.
Tutoring Highschool
Are you looking to go into college for a music degree and want to have a head start, or are you just interested in learning what makes music work? Whether or not you are taking piano lessons or learning another instrument, I offer theory classes to all, starting with beginner and intermediate levels, and will help you with your journey with learning music.
Tutoring College
In college and struggling to make it through Music Theory? I offer my services to help you through the classes, whether you are seeking a single meeting or a package of 10 sessions for the semester.
Group Classes
These classes are forthcoming and will be based on client interests. We plan to offer group piano lessons, group music theory classes, music history classes, and more. Group classes are monumental in building community and fostering a love and understanding of music.

Cassi gave me tools for practicing that I had never heard elsewhere. She helped tremendously and reframed the way I felt towards technique practice. I saw huge improvement in my playing. – Sara
I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Cassi Bak this last year in piano lessons. She is a kind, caring, talented individual who is incredibly passionate about teaching and helping students be successful in music. She tailors each lesson to the student’s specific needs and offers helpful, constructive feedback. I highly recommend Cassi for anyone interested in learning to play piano or wanting to improve their skills and become a better musician. - Quinton
Cassi is so friendly, patient, and has a wonderful way of teaching that helped me with my technique and with my understanding of the material while I was trying to pass my college piano exams!! She was recommended to me by a friend who she had also helped and who had tremendous success with her. I can say from my own experience that Cassi is absolutely amazing!! She is able to recognize how the student learns and she finds ways to help that will benefit the students most!! I can't recommend her enough! She also teaches all ages which can be harder to find! She's just amazing! - Teresa
