Hyde Park, MA Classical Piano Lessons

I am a classically trained pianist with five completed degrees in Piano Performance from Germany and the US.

I enjoy working with most of my students, especially those who practice hard. I find all students unique and they response differently to my requests or questions. I feel that very often I need to react spontaneously to their responses. For the beginners I mainly focus on reading musical notes and learning correct rhythmic values. With beginners who haven’t played the piano at all I teach finger exercises written finger numbers only. Then I use Piano Adventures theory, lesson, technique and artistry, performance, and popular music books. Although Alfred’s and Bastien’s methods are well known, I prefer Piano Adventures because they introduce the coordination of right and left hand in more progressive manner. At the beginning the following will be covered.
• Postures at the piano, finger numbers, high and low on the keyboard
• Music alphabet, Intervals
• Musical form, Dynamic marks
• Staff; line notes, space notes
• Time signature, accent mark, legato, staccato
• Basic chords ...

Faber books primarily used.

A fun and interactive lesson focusing on what peaks the student's interest!

I teach classical and jazz along with music theory and how to read music to my students. I graduated from an arts school majoring in jazz and now go to Berklee College of Music. I've been teaching for a year now and would be glad to get new students.

I believe each student has a gift in music, with the right direction and attitude they will find a lifelong enjoyment of music. In order to develop students' musical sense, I spark their interest with my interesting approach. I encourage my students to focus on fundamental techniques step-by-step. At the same time, introduce them all different kinds of ways to practice, so the practice will not be only difficult and boring.

Learning music is not about playing all the right notes, and I wish to guide my students to discover all the possibilities in the music.

The goal of my studio is to provide a well- balanced musical education for all ages and levels, in a stress free and fun environment. Studying music should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, which I strive to provide for each of my students!

I have so many years of experience teaching piano to all ages, I love teaching and helping all ages to develop your skills on piano and your passion for it!

I use my 28 years of experience playing piano to help students enjoy music in whatever way they want; whether it's learning their favorite pop song, writing and professionally recording an original tune, or learning that difficult piece that they never thought they would be able to play. It's all about finding the best way to have fun with music and getting the satisfaction that learning an instrument offers.

I believe that learning music can be a fun, almost magical experience with a good teacher. I have created the North Shore Piano Studio to create an inspiring atmosphere to share my love of music with others. I have taught hundreds of students how to play piano and each student is unique in how they learn. My goal is to help each one get the most they can out of a music education and have fun doing it.

Playing the piano is super fun, and the learning process can be enjoyable and painless. I have years of experience teaching the piano to kids of all ages, primarily elementary and middle schoolers. I like to make each lesson plan unique to the student's needs, and you can pick what pieces you want to learn! Since I went through the private lesson process myself, I am well versed in the techniques teachers employ and can teach all levels of proficiency. I have accumulated an extensive repertoire, won numerous competitions, and played at Carnegie Hall. I can help you build a solid foundation in technique, music theory, and sight-reading so that you can play all your favorite songs!
