My philosophy and Teaching Style

Achieving Your Goals

Being able to pick up a piece of sheet music and able to play it with confidence and intelligence is the ultimate goal.  Having the skills to practice practicing the piano on your own develops to be an art form.  You develop a personal relationship with your instrument and the music that comes out.

Music Study Comprehension

If you have a child who wants an exclusive and comprehensive way of learning the piano, please reach out and let's meet.  Each lesson is molded to help reach you or your child's musical goals to enrich life.  Whereever you are in your walk of music, I am here to help you achieve your goals in piano - you do not need to have knowledge to start.

What You'll Learn

The Fundamentals of Music

• Rhythm - The most important aspect in music.  If you can't count it, say it or sing it, you can't play it.  We will get you there!

• Scales - A very important skill in learning the piano and any other instrument.  Scales help you, as a musician, get to know the piano at a different level.  You'll learn all the keys that way!

• Reading Skills - So you can pick up any piece of music and sight read it effectively and learn it on your own.

• Ear Training - So you can develop a critical ear when listening to music and being able to play your favorite songs.

• Music Theory - So you can analyze music at an efficient level - understand it and compose your own music.

What Music Will You Play?

I will help you play any genre of music.  In order to get you there, I believe that "classical" training is a must in order to build strong musicianship skills.  Most pop, broadway, jazz and rock music originates from classical practices.  I will focus on classical techniques, materials and pedagogy.  In addition, during the holidays, I will teach memorable pieces of music that are appropriate for you or your child's skill levels.

Performance Opportunities

During your piano lessons, I teach performance etiquette.  As a result, my goal is to put on two recitals per year.  It is also encouraged for all students to perform at home for family and friends for the holidays and events such as birthdays!   

What Ages Do I Teach?

Piano Lessons for Kids

I've been teaching piano lessons for kids since 2013.  If you have a child between 4-12 years old and can sit through a lesson and follow instructions, I am happy to teach!  Ages 4-6, 30 minute lessons are recommended.  Let's get together for a first free lesson!

Middle School and High School Lessons

Whether you are wanting to learn something new or you are part of a music group like marching band, drumline, jazz band, choir, I can help you be the best musician in your ensemble.  If you are preparing for an audition, competition, concert or seeking a scholarship, I will help you succeed in those music goals.  I am looking forward to working with you - let's set up a meet and greet!
