Piano Lessons in Clarkdale. Amazing Teachers.

Hi my name is Tai N. I am currently a piano and vocal instructor at a local college who teaches private lessons a couple days a week . I a mother to 5 children and enjoys making music lessons fun and entertaining. For more advanced musicians, I am well-versed in scholarship and collegiate auditions.

I play piano and electronic keyboard. My musical background is in jazz, pop, rock, blues, and folk music. I am not a classical pianist.
When teaching piano/keyboard, I teach primarily playing by ear, and chord theory, although I do also teach the fundamentals of reading notes.
With electronic keyboards, I teach students to become familiar with and utilize the features of their keyboard; I also teach improvisation.
As with guitar, I adapt my lessons to meet the interests, attention span, and learning styles of my students.
Students tend to enjoy taking lessons with me, because I make lessons, and music, personal and enjoyable!

I use many different methods to teach note reading, good technique and performance proficiency. I also customize lessons to help individuals reach their goals such as learning to play with a jazz band, play for a church or to play favorite hits. And of course I teach students how to excel in the classics.

In my lessons I take more of a psychological approach to things, and so my methods work for just about any age group. My lessons aren’t focused on the boring stuff, like books. They’re focused on getting your foot in the door of playing as quickly and effective as possible. I was self thought, I’ve been through it, and so I know what you need to know to get that foot in. I’ve taken everything I’ve learnt and stripped it down to what I actually needed to know to get to that place; you’re basically learning from my mistakes. So you’re getting what would usually take at least five (5) years to learn, in under a year. So come on, start playing songs in no time.

Begginer Piano lessons are about scales, technique, chords, and song form.

As a certified music teacher my lessons help students quickly gain confidence on the piano. With my guidance, students become well-rounded musicians able to play their favorite songs, explore new possibilities, make their own music, and take on new challenges!
