Trumbull, CT Piano Lessons

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

I was teaching piano for more than 35 years. I have individual approach to each student, because everybody are so different and also have different goals and like different styles in music. Many of my students take NYSSMA exams and successfully pass them. What is most important, I want my students to love and understand music.

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.

My students all receive lessons customized to their unique interests and skills. While I make sure that all my students learn quality repertoire, sight-reading, technical skills, music theory, aural skills, and music history, I am not one of those teachers that uses the same book series for all students by rote. Repertoire includes great classical pieces, as well as supplemental pieces of the students' choice in any genre. Lessons are lighthearted and you will see notable progress each week.

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!

I'm a fun and patient instructor. I encourage a love for music by teaching students to play music they like. Each customized lesson includes segments in theory, ear training, charting and creating original music.

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!

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to get to know me! I'm Laura, but my younger piano students started calling me Miss Laura and I think it's so cute. As a nanny and children's photographer I have spent most of my time teaching and more importantly learning from little ones. My focus is to be a patient, loving piano teacher who helps little ones start out with a strong foundation by learning proper technique while still learning through games, fun music and much more.

I remember my mom spending countless hours commuting me to piano lessons and so in her honor I travel to my students homes to make it easier on parents.

Think I might be a good fit? I'd love to get in touch.

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.
