Piano Lessons in Miami Beach, FL
By Julia B. - Miami Piano Teacher
Do you want to take piano lessons in Miami Beach? Or, maybe you already know the basics of the piano, but want to master your skills and go on to the next level?
No matter your intention in playing the piano, taking piano lessons in Miami Beach and exploring the Miami musical community can be extremely fun and can make a great impact on your piano career! Here’s how...
As you probably know, Miami is one of the “hottest” cities in the United States - not only because of its tropical climate and sunshine all year round, but also because it offers lots of world-class, live events at many local music and entertainment venues. Participating in these events can give you a lot of opportunities to see your favorite musicians, discover new ones, learn new skills, connect and collaborate with different musicians, and be discovered.
If you like classical piano, you will be thrilled to be part of some annual events, such as the Miami International Piano Festival, Miami Summer Music Festival, National Chopin Piano Competition, and the Tropical Baroque Music Festival. The goal of these festivals is to keep classical music alive, feature the most promising pianists in world-class performance venues, and support and provide young artists with the guidance, training, and promotion needed to succeed. Check out their websites below: http://miamipianofest.com/ http://www.miamisummermusicfestival.com/ http://www.chopin.org/ http://www.miamibachsociety.org/
As an additional resource for pianists, MSMF put together a program called the “Three Week Piano Symposium.” You can also visit the campus of Barry University and observe lessons, hear lectures and attend master classes free of charge.
For those who love jazz piano, blues, R&B and soul, each spring The City of Miami Gardens holds the Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival (http://www.jazzinthegardens.com/). Additionally, Sunshine Jazz Organization of South Florida provides programs, concerts and workshops, and brings jazz to underprivileged children (http://www.sunshinejazz.org/).
Fully experience the Latin culture of Miami at The Calle Ocho Festival and Carnaval On The Mile, where every spring, people get together to celebrate and listen to the beats of merengue, Reggaeton, bachata, balada, hip hop, rap, Latin jazz, and Caribbean rhythms (http://www.carnavalmiami.com/).
And finally, you can find some more resources for piano concerts, open rehearsals, and free music events at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Miami, a premier showcase for the performing arts that offers three state-of-the-art theaters and an outdoor stage (http://www.arshtcenter.org/).
Although there is always opportunity to perform in Miami, practicing piano craft and becoming better in all aspects of it can guarantee you success as a performing pianist.
Good luck in your piano lessons in Miami Beach, and enjoy your musical journey!

Piano is a great instrument to start out with. It can help you learn so many things. We'll break down music fundamentals and learn good technique from the beginning so you can set yourself up to excel in the future.

*** Lesson Details ***
Each person is different and learns in a slightly different way. Having said that, there are certain essentials which must not be ignored. If you've never taken lessons before, we'll start with the fundamentals, how to hold the guitar properly, make chords, build up finger strength, properly tune the guitar, know all the strings, and most importantly play songs. You will lea
For me, the most interesting music reveals the unique perspective and feelings of the person who makes it. Having conquered the essentials I will encourage you to be creative with your developing talents. I can teach you about song structure and I can teach you how to jam with your friends. If you are interested in writing and composing, I can help you with that too. We can take a look at your favorite artists and try to discover how they accomplished and perfected their sound. If you want to learn how to record I have a computer equipped with Pro Tools and would be glad to show you how to use it.
You'll spend time listening to me of course, but I hope to spend much of my time listening to you as well. If reading music doesn't inspire you we can focus more on learning by ear. It's up to you. You'll need your own instrument obviously, though you can leave it at home if you don't want to carry it back and forth. I have guitars here. I request that you purchase a book with text and exercises so that you can practice and study what you learn in the class. Even if you do not want to read music, you will need to know the neck and conquer scale formations and chords. We can choose the text based on your needs.

About Lucian
Lucian believes that by sharing his enjoyment of making music with his students, he can give them confidence in other areas. That is because, in order to make music, they must go through a process of physical discovery through pr
He performs, as a solo entertainer, an unusually wide ranging repertoire because of his versatility on guitar, piano, and vocals. Being an accomplished arranger with a vast library of charts also allows him to lead a ten piece orchestra as competently as a trio or quartet. He has performed extensively in New York, Chicago, Cape Cod, and Florida.
*** Lesson Details ***
I always try to make lessons as comfortable and enjoyable as possible yet challenging enough to maintain interest. I build lessons around the student's individual interests (specific songs or styles) so that he or she can learn the technical fundamentals in a relevant context.
My own curriculum is supplemented by the following:
Guitar: Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Aaron Shearer Classical Guitar Method
Piano: Alfred's Basic Piano Course , John W. Schaum Piano Course
Voice: Jeffrey Allen's Secrets of Singing, Nicola Vaccai Practical Method
*** Studio Equipment ***
Hardman baby grand acoustic piano
OptimusMD1600 electronic keyboard
Crate TX50D guitar amplifer
*** Specialties ***
- Singing lesson time is generally divided 50/50 between voice building and repertoire. I accompany vocalists on both piano and guitar, teaching the melody notes as they are sung along with the piano. Then, once the melody is learned, I often switch to the guitar with just chordal backing. The acoustic guitar is also softer than the piano and lets the singer hear their own voice better. For voice building, I use my own concepts plus approaches of famous voice teachers like Jeffrey Allen, Seth Riggs, and Anthony Frissel.
- I am very experienced performing all styles of guitar and can cater to the student's specific area of interest, whether it be rock, folk, classical, or jazz.
- With piano, I work on fundamentals of reading and technique. Learning basic harmony and chord construction starting with triads (3 note chords), the student can soon read single stave lead sheets (a form of music notation widely utilized by professional musicians) as well as the grand staff. This approach trains the ear and makes learning how to play popular songs much easier.

Piano classes will be geared not only with piano technique, but with music theory as well. Piano is a great instrument to learn because it is the instrument that allows you to be able to transfer to other instruments, if you desire. Piano lessons will be geared towards music reading and technique. Once a basic and proficient music reading is achieved by the student, lessons can begin to infuse music not only from the method books, but from student interest.

About Michael S.

Learn to play a song by the end of your first lesson!
Piano is a great way to introduce yourself to music and form (or strengthen) your musical foundation. I specialize in beginning and intermediate level students! I firmly believe that it is never too late to learn to play the piano. :)
I believe in a technique-driven approach that builds a strong foundation, while also having fun and ensuring that my students enjoy the process and get to play the songs they want to learn. It's no fun thinking about committing to years of lessons before you're able to play anything enjoyable. I do my best to make sure that my students are working towards the music they love and enjoy while also developing their skills.
Lessons are tailored to your strengths and weaknesses for a well-rounded approach to note-reading, ear training, theory, and technique. All ages are welcome!
