San Jacinto, CA Piano Lessons

With piano lessons, you can expect a well-paced relaxed environment yet, with a high expectation of professionalism. I would go at the pace and styled you'd like to learn.

I teach students to play all genres of music from beginning to advanced levels.

I can teach to play by reading sheet music and/or by ear (which means to play music without needing the sheet music in front of you)

All Levels are welcome

I've been teaching music for 15 yrs on guitar, piano, bass, cello and bass. My students have ranged from from 5yrs to 75yrs of age. I have seen many student go on to join orchestras, bands, broadway shows or simply continued their education to a university or college. Being able to read music profeciently has given me the opportunity to teach off many method books but like to use Alfred Method, Mel Bay and Frederick Noad Method books. I teach many styles ranging from classical, jazz & blues, rock, contemporary and pop. I do stress and recommend all my students to learn how to read music and usually by our second or third lesson they will playing simple songs. I am here to help you make music!

The basic approach provides a series of exercises and music from simple to the more sophisticated, along with hints and tips for their completion.

I teach jazz, rock, and beginning classical piano, with and emphasis on performance, theory, and songwriting.

I would assess the student's capability and begin with the level appropriate for the student. For new students with no experience, I would start out with simple hand positioning and playing the piano firsthand. We'll learn as we go with fine details of reading notation and techniques. I will introduce one or two subject to cover for each lesson. For students that have more experience and are at the beginner level, I will introduce technical practices and assign a piece of music. As for intermediate and advance, we will cover technical practice, assigned music, and music theory.

Learning to play music should be fun. Learning to play the songs you like and listen to everyday is a good first step in that direction.

As early as I can remember our house was filled with music. My parents had records of the popular music of the time as well as movie soundtrack albums. At eight years old I got my first keyboard and joined the school band. Soon I was taking private lessons. I often found myself sitting and trying out chords and melodies to fit the songs I would hear. At Twelve I got my first Piano, along with a songbook that promised I could play “hundreds of songs with just three magic chords”.
Piano students can expect to learn beginner tools such as basic sight-reading techniques and proper finger coordination to finding exciting ways to "fake" your way through a piece. I aim to give students an adaptable tool box that allows them to feel confident in multiple facets of piano-playing. Let's get started!

4 years of experience in piano teaching specializing in classical musicianship and teaching piano to students with disabilities including autism and down syndrome. I have more of a Montessori approach to lessons in which I use the students natural aptitudes in order to convey musical concepts whether it be LEGO's to explain different note values or different cars to explain different tempos. I teach all aspects of music including sight singing and theory. Your student will be playing songs they sing in no time!

Education wise I am currently attending school in order to receive my Bachelor's in Music (BM) and have been nominated for performances at both Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera house. I also have performed piano concertos with orchestras all over southern California!
