Piano Lessons in Arcola. Amazing Teachers.

I'm a very patient teacher and love working with new students, regardless of age. As a high school teacher, I find real joy in helping someone acquire new knowledge or a new skill. I work at my student's pace and am excited to teach on my brand new piano. Whether you're wanting to learn how to read music or wish to be able to play songs by ear, I'm happy to help!

Customized creative lessons to meet you exactly where are you on your piano journey. I especially love teaching beginner students. I use many different techniques of teaching to meet the needs of my students. I teach a well rounded curriculum that includes note reading, ear training, improvisation, technique and more.

With playing piano for Nearly 20 years and teaching Piano for 10 years, not only with the student come out gaining skill and knowledge but they will want to actually practice at home!

Learn to play contemporary music & classical pieces as well! I have experience playing in both. Music is supposed to be fun & enjoyable. I’ll make sure to provide that experience.

I began my musical instruction as an instrumentalist, so I have years of performing and teaching experience in drums, guitar, piano, and beyond. Feel free to contact me about these other exciting musical opportunities! I use Alfred's instructional method books for children and apply a more intensive and exciting teaching plan for adults. As always, my teaching is fun and holistic while also being approachable and results-oriented. Let's get started!

I have been playing piano since I was 6 years old! I love to work with beginner students and give them the tools to be a great piano musician. It's also very energizing for me to work with intermediate students to hone your skills. I focus on proper technique, basic music theory, and a wide variety of repetoire, all while having fun together! I cant wait to help you learn to play.

I typically begin students with a traditional method book, and then move to more classical repetoire, supplementing with pieces or genres that the student has interest in!

Typical lessons will include warm ups (scales, arpeggios, other techniques to warm up the fingers), working on repetoire (may include folk songs, broadway/disney, pop, worship), music theory (note and rest values, key and time signatures, interval recognition, ear training, note recognition, etc.)

Materials that students will need are a piano/keyboard of their own, two lesson/recital books recommended by me, and a theory book.
