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

My experience teaching piano spans nine years and I have helped my students develop their performance and interpretation skills to succeed in both examinations and their academic pursuits.
In addition, my students have learned to play their favorite songs, sing and play or improvise for special occasions or recreation. In our first lesson, we'll discuss your private goals and develop a plan for their realization. Within the first few weeks, we'll work on specific skills and techniques in order to achieve your goal. From the beginning, you will have a chance to practice your skills and work on music that inspires you on a grand piano. If desired, you'll have an opportunity to play your music at an annual recital or other performance opportunities.

My selection of materials depends on your skill level and personal goals. For beginners, I will often use Faber Piano Adventures, Alfred Piano, and the RCM Piano series. The RCM Piano series also caters to intermediate and advanced ...

When working with a student, I strive to develop the lesson around them. I teach at the pace they learn. I accommodate for busy schedules and assign only the necessary amount of homework for each student. I try to tailor my lessons to suit the needs of each individual student.

I have been teaching private, individualized piano lessons since 2001! I welcome students of all ability levels - and all ages! It's never too late to begin! My background includes a B.A. from Wellesley College, in Wellesley, MA, and a M.Ed. from Rivier College in Nashua, NH. I am a Massachusetts State certified teacher and teach at a local high school. I immensely enjoy bringing together different instruments and voices and have led many musical groups throughout my music career. The piano has been a vital part of my life, and I look forward to sharing its beauty with you or your child!

I am a teacher with a rich background in music education. Having studied in Moscow, Russia during the "Golden Era" of music in both performing and teaching aspect I have learned from some of the best pianists and pedagogues. My students have won numerous international competitions, went on to study in conservatories around the country and have performed on many prestigious stages around the world.
However, besides working with pianists who are serious about music, I also enjoy teaching adults and children of all ages and experience. I have always found it rewarding to watch a student grow from learning the piano keys to playing their first Sonata years later. Many of my students started in kindergarten and stayed with me until college.
By choosing me as your teacher, you will get to play exciting repertoire and get to reach all of your musical goals!

I like to create individualized lessons for each student according to their tastes in music. Students can pick their own songs to learn and I can arrange the songs for any level. I adapt my teaching skills to each student's learning style and I realize that every student is different in how they learn. With over 30 years of teaching experience, I have found ways to help the student learn piano as quickly as possible.

I have been teaching for over 8 years. I've worked with ages as young as three up to adults in their 50's. We all learn best when we are engaged and having fun. I'm only interested in teaching you songs, techniques, or exercises that help you achieve your personal goals and play on your interests to strengthen your skills. That means that if you are excited about technically challenging classical literature and want to challenge yourself, I will give you finger strengthening exercises and music theory along with a variety of pieces. If you want to just have fun and be able to play for your friends, let's find your favorite song and make an arrangement of it that you can have fun learning.

I have experience teaching classical, improvisation, composition, music theory, pop music, and basic jazz. Let's find your favorite and play with it till you can play it beautifully!
