PIANO

I can teach you to play piano in a mindful, body-conscious way (which I find more relaxing and fulfilling). My specialties include any/all of the following: beginner/intermediate piano (any style, including classical and pop/jazz), teaching music reading/theory, learning to playing by ear/with chords, accompanying oneself while singing, learning to arrange/write music and working with individual/special needs.

Though I am not a concert pianist/accompanist by trade, I have 12 years of piano teaching experience, and have worked steadily as a singer-songwriter and in pop, rock and variety bands (as a keyboard player).

My classes consist on learning the basics of playing piano. We will go through some music theory to be able to read and understand a piano score; with simple exercises, students will practice playing with one hand at a time, and then playing with both hands at the same time. We will also practice and learn how to play different chords and their inversions. Scales are also very important to play very well from the beginning. With these components, you will get a solid start to keep improving and playing better and better each time.

Jamil has been teaching private lessons since 2012 and is currently available to teach lessons at his home studio. He can introduce piano from elementary level reading and fingering to learning to read and memorize popular repertoire like Fur Elise and Chopin's Nocturnes. Jamil will emphasize scales, patterns and rhythms to make learning easy through each stage. Current students are ages 6-14. Parents are welcome to sit in lessons.

Cheerful and energetic teacher with several years of teaching experience and over 18 years of performing experience. I teach my students technique, artistry & musicianship, music theory, music history, composition, sightreading, and improvisation. I believe in a wholistic approach to music that expands beyond the boundaries of the keyboard. In order to understand the piano, you must also understand music as a whole! I firmly believe that that the key to success in learning how to play the piano is learning how to become your own teacher. Many students don't realize that 99% of the work is done at home. Unfortunately, most teachers don't teach their students how to practice, resulting in very slow progress and a bored and frustrated student. I give my students the tools they need to learn quickly, which improves their focus and motivation, and most importantly allows them to have fun! My curriculum focuses on classical music, but also incorporates other genres like jazz and pop ...

As an experienced piano teacher specializing in beginning and intermediate students, I welcome students of all ages. Lessons are designed with students' goals in mind. A good foundation is important, so I make sure that we cover everything from proper technique, music theory, sight-reading, performance skills and more! Participation in recitals and festivals is optional. I look forward to working with you!

Experienced in teaching students of all levels and ages, I will help my students to reach their goals, perfect their technique and musical knowledge and most importantly, enjoy making music.

With over 5 years of teaching experience, my goals are to help students achieve their highest potential in what they want to do. Everyone has different goals and learning styles and as a teacher, I am here to accommodate these factors when planning your lessons. I love working with students of all ages and levels and specialize in classical music. I cant wait to meet you and turn these lessons into an exciting time of learning and music making!
