Piano Lessons in Camp H M Smith. Amazing Teachers.

I place a heavy emphasis on not just playing but understanding the music. Understanding what you're playing is a key difference between an amateur and a professional musician.

Music is all about relationships and patterns. The more patterns and relationships you learn to readily recognize and identify the more affluent you become in your musical mastery.

On piano, students can learn how to create an accompaniment from a lead sheet (chord chart) while playing the melody or learn sight reading to improve learning efficiency for more exact music (classical). Technique and fingering is always an important part of learning the piano.

"Study music while experiencing lessons to an enjoyable and relaxed approach!" This has been my goal and approach for students from young children to professional musicians in college. Whether piano, voice, or organ let's see how you learn best and make this a positive experience for you!

I teach with an emphasis on note reading as well as incorporating ear/chord playing. I love the repertoire of classical music and try to encourage students with even easy versions of the great masterwork pieces.

Students will discover how to play with technique and finesse. They will be taken through scales, finger exercises, chords and musical theory to help them develop a well-rounded skill-set. They will also learn to play both Classical and popular pieces to develop a complete and sophisticated repertoire.

I had 12 years of private instruction in a classical manner and I can also play by ear. I like to keep students engaged by teaching in a more circular manner. Connecting the dots and showing how learning scales theory etc enables you to play the contemporary songs you love! I love all styles of music and tailor each lesson to the current knowledge and ability of the student.

I’ve grown up hearing piano, seeing piano, and loving piano! I specialize in beginners. Lessons will be customized to every student needs and goals. We’ll work on reading music, music theory, technique, and any of your favorite songs! My goal is for you to surpass me! Let’s get started!
