Alturas, FL Piano Lessons

Experienced piano teacher available for eager students of beginner level! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of theory skills.

I have played and studied piano for 58 years.

Most of my students are pianists playing Acoustic Piano plus Digital & Electronic Keyboards. Some are also vocal students composing their own music.

I have taught basic piano for years. This is a great skill to have under your belt as a foundation for whatever musical style or instrument you decide to pursue later.
I began playing the piano at age 5, double majored in it in high school, and am forever thankful of my ability to accompany myself and learn a piece on my own. Plus, it helps you compose!

It's never to late to learn some piano, but the earlier the better is always great!

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 love teaching students how to play the piano. I enjoy helping them achieve their specific goals. I am all about increasing my students' musicality to the fullest potential. I can help them learn the skill of sight-reading (Imagine knowing how to immediately play a piece of music that you have never seen before!) I can also teach them how to play by ear/improvise
(Wouldn't it be nice to be able to successfully play a song from your brain on your first try?) I'd love to teach you how to play.

My students will learn basic piano instruction, music theory, chords and scales, rymthem and dynamics, and to express themselves thru music of there choice. Mrs G's Piano students all earn points for there practice time, lessons, duets, recitals, memorization and use those points to compete against themselves and earn prizes. Two recitals are held a year to promote confidence and accountability. I prefer the Alfred series for teaching piano lessons on my digital piano because it is fun and easy to learn with quick results. All the student needs to do is practice.

As an instructor I will teach you the fundamental tools you will need as a musician to progress at your own pace. I taught myself without any formal training until I was headed to college. Even with private instruction, it was my own passion and work ethic that allowed me to grow into the musician I am today. I seek to inspire that same passion in you.

Whether you are a complete beginner starting lessons first time or you've been playing for awhile and you are looking for teacher to take your skills to the next level, Miss Bobbie has the keys to your success. Each lesson incorporates music theory, ear training, technique, artistry and sight reading. As a student, you will progress through method books, sheet music and can even choose songs you want to learn.

Whether you've always wanted to learn how to play piano or you just want to see if piano is the right instrument for you, come on over to my studio and we will work together to get you where you want to be musically!

With a Masters degree in music, I provide a super friendly, patient, understanding, fun, and disciplined environment to help cultivate and nurish musical growth during your lessons.
