Piano Lessons in Higganum. Amazing Teachers.

All styles from classical to jazz/blues to many ethnic/world music styles

love teaching and keeping students interested. It's important to find titles that students can get behind and taking time to find pieces that are appropriate and interest students is my first priority.

I like to make sure that exercises are not looked at as a punishment. Breaking down how to apply a technique is as important as learning it.

Finally, I like to keep things light. I'm not going to motivate you by scaring you into practicing. There are other teachers that are good at that, but that's not my style. I'd rather work on finding out how to get you to be self motivated and actually enjoy what you're doing.

My specialties include jazz and pop styles.

I specialize in the Alfred Series for piano and My First Piano Adventure for young students. This approach focuses on ear training and reading music. Custom exercises and choice of material is based on the student's level and field of study. Lessons are scheduled at the student's convenience as per availability. Frequency and length of lessons is based on the students needs.

I am positive and nurturing. I have many years of experience teaching students of all ages. I also have years of early childhood music teaching experience. I love music and I love to teach. I am equally comfortable with students of all ages and I love working with adult student especially beginners. I teach great music reading, great technique and great practice skills. I love to incorporate music history and music theory into the lessons when appropriate. I have many ideas about how to motivate students to practice.

With many years working as a composer, performer, & teacher, I strive for my students to simply enjoy exploring the language of music while embracing the discipline of the learning process, whether it is through playing pop, jazz, or even their own compositions!

Piano lessons are fast-paced and fun! I use the Faber Piano Adventures curriculum, so the student will need to purchase appropriate resources. Lessons cover piano knowledge, building technique skills, music theory, improvisation, and performance pieces.
