Oxford, CT Piano Lessons

Piano lessons

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

If you want to learn how to begin playing the piano, I am you man. I focus on scales, selections, and cadences to help you learn the beginnings of piano playing. I can take you through simple four part melodies with pedals, playing from a lead sheet, and even a bit of transposition. A small amount of music theory will be involved in your lessons.

The student will be instructed on the basics of proper playing techniques, music theory, and musicianship. They will learn to read music and also play by ear which will make them a well rounded player.

I enjoy providing a foundation of good technique and music theory. I teach the traditional method of reading music. I welcome adult beginners as well. I also encourage serious voice students to add piano to their studies to improve their musicianship, help them learn their material independently, and enable them to play for themselves in practice

I am dedicated to helping students appreciate music and express themselves artistically. My teaching style adapts to the needs of each student. I enjoy working with all ages, levels, and a wide variety of musical styles (classical music, musical theater, pop, rock, jazz, liturgical). Contact me if you have any questions!

Experienced teacher of 8 years teaching General Music in a primary school setting, and more than 10 years in experience teaching piano, specializing in the beginner/intermediate piano student! All ages welcome. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more. Let's get started!

I am also fully bilingual in Spanish!

With about 14 years of experience playing piano, I can cover material from beginner to advanced level, have no difficulty adjusting to any learning style and can work with music pieces ranging from classical to pop.

I am very versatile in my lessons and tailor material to students' needs and preferences. Whether we are reading a classical piece, learning a pop song by ear, or improvising, I encourage you to use your ears to develop your own style.
I use composition as a tool for student growth. I compose exercises and pieces for my students to target areas of improvement, and also encourage students to compose themselves. I have seven years of performing and teaching experience and hold a B.M. from Berklee College of Music and an M.M. from Manhattan School of Music.
Whether you are playing the piano for the first time or have played for several years, my lessons yield noticeable results.
