Piano Lessons in Alachua. Amazing Teachers.

I teach beginner and intermediate piano courses online and in person. Each student's goals are different, so I typically like to address what a student wants to learn. I usually recommend a combo of learning to read music and popular songs learned by ear to keep lessons fun.

While teaching classical piano, I always try to incorporate the material that students like the most: Holiday songs, Broadway melodies and favorite cartoon songs. All of this definitely adds to the enjoyment of learning how to play. Besides having two recitals a year, I encourage students to play in front of their peers at school, to always play for their families and to participate in various competitions and festivals around the St.Louis area.

I am a concert pianist with a passion for teaching. From a boarding arts secondary school to prestigious conservatories in both the US and Europe, I have honed my craft, and developed a love for sharing my passion with others. I have taught students at the Yale School of Music and at the Eastman School of Music in the United States. Additionally, I have taught a private studio for a year in Brussels, Belgium and given masterclasses at universities and schools across the Americas. My goal as a teacher is to instill my own love for music in my students.

After meeting with a student for the first time I will develop a customized lesson plan designed to meet the student's goals.

Seasoned piano teacher with 10 years of experience; works in classical, rock, and jazz styles. I make piano FUN and ADDICTIVE for students! I enjoy working with all ages and can accommodate a wide range of tastes from Beethoven to Adele.

I am not your regular piano teacher who will teach you simply by the book. I teach people to connect with their favorite music. Student centered learning means your INTERESTS are what are really driving the ship during our lessons. We EXPLORE together! This is not some scenario where you are here to try to impress me or the other way around. We are here to learn how to SPEAK THE LANGUAGE of music. To get a BROAD UNDERSTANDING of the most important FUNDAMENTALS.

Not to get upset over every little detail and have anxiety attacks every time we have to play! NO! This is about learning what you really want to learn. We can explore improvisation, covers of your favorite songs, classical pieces, jazz works, electronic music, rock music, or any other kind of music you desire. The piano is an AMAZING GATEWAY INSTRUMENT!

Once you learn the piano, you may become UNSTOPPABLY AMAZING! I also teach voice and other instruments such as guitar and bass, which I use regularly in my home
