Dynamic and Easy Classical Piano Lessons for Children from a Fun Teacher

While teaching classical piano, I always try to incorporate the material that students like the most: Holiday songs, Broadway melodies and favorite cartoon songs. All of this definitely adds to the enjoyment of learning how to play. Besides having two recitals a year, I encourage students to play in front of their peers at school, to always play for their families and to participate in various competitions and festivals around the St.Louis area.

About Daniela K.

Hi ! My name is Daniela and I can't wait to meet you! I have been teaching piano and theory since 1994 and have loved helping my students discover the beautiful world of music. Seeing my students grow into well rounded and educated people that love art, are able to recognize different styles of music, express their feelings and emotions on this wonderful instrument makes me really happy. My students range from people who simply want to learn how to play proficiently as a hobby to students who are considering making music their future career. I strongly believe that a chance to go on a big stage and play on a great Steinway piano in front of people, makes a big difference in children's lives: teaches them self control, gives them great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Taking part in festivals and piano competitions helps with building high self esteem even more. I look forward to helping you and your children to reach your goals!

Didn’t feel comfortable at the location. Didn’t learn anything but time signatures. The whole time she didn’t know where to start to teach me theory. She would scoff and make me feel dumb for not knowing an answer to her questions. The whole vibe was rushed and weird. Basically told me to just buy a book and learn from the there. No inspiration or motivation to learn theory. She seemed more happy that our time was over than helping me feel like I can learn any thing. I’m African American so that could of been a reason why I got treated the way I did but overall it was a terrible lesson and a waste of both of our times.
