I teach general piano lessons since 2010.With every new student our mutual journey into the world of music begins from the very basic stage; we begin with discussing student's proper sitting position at the instrument,basic introduction sessions on the general buildup of the instrument, its keyboard layout, and proceed, gradually, to the notation symbols on the music staff introduction to the student. Through the diligent preliminary talk we will discuss various aspects of interest that my students have developed in relation to playing piano, so we could plan and design our future lessons according to an initial discussion. My job and responsibility will be to make an intelligent assessment of my students' natural abilities for the given subject of study, to create vigorous learning atmosphere during our meetings, and to give my students professional instructions to the best of my humble abilities, for the benefits of their musical , aesthetic, and personal development. I will ...

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

"Staying authentic and purely yourself is not easy while everyone around you tells you what to do and what not to do, though that is exactly what makes a great artist unique and popular, especially in an academic surrounding with so many talented musicians around you. As a student, performing artist, and educator, I will always have as one of my ultimate goals to never lose my curiosity - curiosity for the other style or technique I don't know yet, the other artist I haven't discovered yet, or a new depth I haven't been able to experience yet through music. There is and will always be more, and that's the beauty of music. I try to help my students understand the benefits of staying open-minded and challenge them to do things they might not normally do to make them leave their comfort zone and dig deeper into the unknown."

"I want to make my students think about what they want to express with their original song or what the story is behind a cover song and in what social and ...

I teach important musicianship skills as well as proper technique and relevant music theory.

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

Piano lessons for any age and any level should be about fun and creativity. Through focus on technique, music theory, and healthy body movements, my students are set free to improvise, interpret and explore the fun of playing piano. I expect students to learn, through my help, to be self-teachers and guide themselves through their own goals. I do this through a focus on successful practice procedures, and a deep understanding of music.

Hey! I have been playing piano for over 20 years and have been giving private lessons for over 10 years. I have performed as a soloist and as a member of various ensembles. Students will incorporate a working and advancing knowledge of music theory to support their technical abilities as pianists. Students will begin with a warm up, review of the previous lesson's material, incorporate new skills and repertoire, and finish with a wrap-up activity and goal for next lesson.

I have performed all around the world and experienced many ways music can change lives. I have performed with orchestras, chamber groups, jazz ensembles, and directed my own groups for many years. I have 4 albums available at www.chasemorrin.com.

Although I am a professional performer, I truly care about about teaching and have extensive experience teaching piano and working with students of all ages.

I’m an Italian pianist with 15 years of teaching experience and I moved to the US last year because I followed my husband after his decision to accept a position at Boston University as Professor of Piano.
Before coming here I was running a Piano Academy that I founded in 2008, the Accademia Musicale Varesina: it was a great experience, and my students obtained in a few years hundreds of prizes. In these years I have gained extensive experience with children and young pianists.
Now that I’m here I would love to start teaching again; I miss sharing with young students my great passion for Music and Piano!
I will teach you how to memorize pieces and be ready for public performances in a very short time. Thanks to the Italian music education system children will be able to learn basic piano technique in no time as well as fundamental notions of solfeggio and harmony.
Professional piano lessons only!
