Piano Lessons in Erwinville. Amazing Teachers.

I have been playing piano for 40 plus years and have taught many different age groups. I like to teach students to read music and play various types of chords, scales and progressions. I also teach students to play by ear and learn to improvise. I will keep lessons fun, engaging, interesting and challenging.

Listed below are some of the teaching books that I use.

As a music therapist, I am both a fully trained therapist and a fully trained musician. I play the guitar, the piano, and I sing; additionally, I use music and music theory concepts in my work every day. My training and experience help me stand out in that I am not your typical music teacher! I have training and experience in adapting musical concepts to maximize understanding for my students/clients, working with those who have special needs and/or exceptionalities, and setting students/clients up for success.

I teach using a strengths-based approach, meaning I assess and utilize my student's strengths and learning styles when introducing and teaching content. I adapt lessons and teaching strategies to meet each student where they are, which sets them up for success.

I teach all my students from the Alfred All-In-One Course Books (all levels), A Dozen A Day (Burnam), and Alfred Essentials of Music Theory. I select song pieces from my very extensive personal music library which contains books from all musical history periods and most musical genres. I have been playing piano since I was about 10 years old and personally love to play piano pieces from most genres. I have a Bachelor's in Music Education and have taken all four college level Class Piano Classes as well as private piano lessons as a child and in college.

I've taught many Piano students at a private music academy, ranging from small children to adults. For a beginner, we will focus on fundamentals, as good technique is an investment in future success. I use a well-respected Piano method book for all my students, and many of them have had great success under my instruction.
