La Grange, KY Piano Lessons

I've been playing piano for over 20 years and have taught for over 10 years. I teach a variety of styles and I specialize in working with beginners. I'm the most patient teacher you will ever meet! For those who are looking to build basic playing and reading skills for piano, I enjoy using the Faber and Faber Piano Adventures series, and I've seen much success with it over the course of thousands of lessons! You can expect to develop your skills with scales, arpeggios and fingering patterns. For those who want an in-depth approach, I enjoy a theory-based method that helps the student to understand music in great detail. If you want to play some of your favorite songs, I'll show you how.

Students will use standard music notation while learning familiar songs, proper technique, and music theory.

As a professional musician, songwriter and composer, I often use the piano/keyboard for composition, arrangement and sound design. Although my primary instruments are alto saxophone and guitar, having piano skills have been an asset in visualizing the musical spectrum.

I've had two years formal training on Piano, and taught 2nd Year Piano in NYC public and private schools.

I've taught from ages 4 to 74 on piano in my teaching studio, which has been kicking since 2001, after earning my degree in music performance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Students describe me as patient, fun, and encouraging! As your teacher, you can expect me to work with you from where you are, and with subjects and curriculum that match what you are interested in learning. **NEW STUDENT SPECIAL!** I have just shifted my studio to online only, I have limited studio times available (**PLEASE CHECK MY AVAILABILITY BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR LESSONS, AS MY TIMES ARE QUITE LIMITED NOW**), and I am excited to meet new students! From now through October 2017, I am offering a new online student special, where students can purchase lessons at a reduced rate! Students may purchase as many lessons at this rate as they like, but in November, rates will return to regular tuition. ($28 per 30-min session). I look forward to meeting you!

Patient, flexible, experienced, creative, and student-centered instruction across all styles, ages and abilities. Josh's integrative approach begins with skills you already have and develops those you will need going forward--including rhythm, sight-reading, improvisation, composition, two-hand independence, and more. Josh is a highly resourceful teacher who excels in helping students "find" the music (and musician) that is already inside them.

I can help students with a wide range of skills. We will focus on building good foundations such as practice technique and basic music theory.

I am so excited to make music with you! We will start at your skill level in a method book, but also find songs that you will enjoy playing as well. We can also work on some duets to play which are so much fun! I am a middle school chorus teacher and I have been playing piano since I was in 5th grade.

"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!
