Lesson Details

Students of all ages are welcomed, and will find Marc to be as laid back an instructor as the student's drive will allow for. Those aspiring to become accomplished pianists will be given a strict regiment of exercises to work with, while those for whom music is more of a hobby can expect a more laid back lesson; he's always up for discussing the history and influence of the music at hand. For young beginner students (ages 5 to 8), he will tend to assign pieces from the Suzuki Method series of ... pieces as well as selections from Bartok's Mikrokosmos and Schumann's Album for the Young. There will be an emphasis on proper technique; if good technique is habitual for a pianist, he or she can express his or herself so much more effectively through the music than if one must constantly think about how to hold the hand and move the fingers.
