Piano Lessons in Versailles. Amazing Teachers.

Students from 5-95 are welcome. We will use the Alfred Premier Series, mainly the Lessons, Technique and Theory books. However, materials and methods are adjusted based on individual learning styles and interests.

I've been teaching piano for several years; whatever your goals: personal enjoyment, performing in church, or pursuing music as a career, I can get you on the right track! Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to read music notes, play basic chords and scales, and play a song from memory. As time goes on you'll be able to play various arrangements with ease and expressive musicality. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels, and I can't wait to meet you!

I have played piano for rock bands and worship ensembles for several years. I was also required to take 4 semesters of Functional Piano in college and prove myself a proficient pianist to graduate. I also use piano on a daily basis for arranging, composing, and teaching.

In piano, we will begin with simple music designed to build strength and dexterity in your hands. We will begin learning to read music notes together, so don't worry if you never have before! However, I do recommend that young children are able to identify the alphabet and numbers 1-10 prior to starting piano. Reading is a plus!

In lessons, I use the Piano Adventures series, starting at the primer level with very young students. I will typically use the Lesson, Performance, Technique & Artistry, & Theory books available at each level to give every student the most comprehensive music education while building their piano playing ability. These four books are commonly sold as a package on amazon.com for a discounted rate.

In addition, I love to work with each student to meet his or her own personal goals. I am always happy to provide additional music from outside these core books! Some examples of things my students have requested over the years include Disney songs, video

Piano is often considered the quintessential beginner instrument. Do you want to help your child refine their fine motor skills and learn the discipline that comes with musical training while building self-esteem? Are you are an adult who has always wanted to learn how to play the piano but never made time for it? Weekly piano lessons are a fantastic first step to mastering this wonderful instrument!

In my lessons I really listen to my students especially when it comes to the type of music that they want to learn. Many times they will bring ideas to me that they have heard or seen. I do insist on reading and using the music as a tool to improve on sight reading, rhythm and other basic studies of music. I try to make it enjoyable and fun and not a stressful experience.
