Newton Upper Falls, MA Piano Lessons

As a person with years of experience working with children, I am patient and enthusiastic, and my main goal when teaching beginners is to inspire a continued interest in playing the piano. It is important for me to make the lessons fun, and therefore I am attentive to my students' needs, strengths, goals, and concerns. I incorporate ear-training into my lessons, emphasize the understanding of rhythm, and teach students to have a productive practicing ethic. I consider myself an encouraging person with a positive outlook, and feel that a child's self-confidence is an integral part of their learning.

For beginner students, I like to use method books and guide them through every step of the complicated process of learning how to read music. After several months, a beginner student will have learned how to count rhythm in a piece of music, identify notes in notation, play some basic scaled correctly, and would be working on a simple song or Classical piece.

For advanced students, I

All students are required to learn the basics in piano, such as,
the lines, spaces in both clefs, time signatures, note values.
Once the students have mastered the above, they can go on to learn
major and minor scales along with music pieces.
Students play songs that are in the John Thompson book and also
plays some supplementary songs.

Prefer to teach children on piano. 10+ years experience. Studied most recently with Bulent Guneralp.

The beginner student of piano will learn to read music and proper posture for performance. We will quickly learn simple songs, and combine technical exercises in a fun manner to encourage students to want to practice.

Hello,

I am a graduate from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in Piano and Film Scoring. I teach very basic composition, Music I am interested in: Film Score styles, Classical, Pop, Rock. I also teach scales, finger exercises, chords, theory and basic songs. Exercises and theory comes first before learning songs though I am not ruling out any songs. I am fun, easy to get along with, very patient with kids and adults, and have a fun sense of humor.

You would know how to read music, how to play piano by listening to the song, how to write chords for an unknown chords song. You would know how to perform a pop song properly on piano.

My teaching philosophy is that learning music should be challenging, empowering, and most of all, fun! No matter what your goals, I will help you develop your musicianship.
