Piano Lessons in Elkton. Amazing Teachers.

My approach is fun, simple, and easy to understand. I focus on getting a strong foundation and excellent first experience with music. The child will be given a lesson and theory book to work from, but will also be encouraged to play music they personally like. This keeps the child motivated to play and adds an element of fun! These songs can then be used in our recitals, for auditions, or put in their personal repertoire book.

I teach beginning piano students the basics of music theory and of good technique. I help them to understand the patterns in the music and improve their reading fluency. We also spend some time discussing the lives and composition styles of different composers. I am comfortable teaching students of all ages and adjust my lessons to fit a student's developmental level and learning style.

Lessons consist of instructions for scales, exercises, pieces and theory. Basics are required of every student... but once these have been mastered... students can determine their direction... classical or more popular variety. Recital in June annually includes award ceremony for excellence in pieces completed, Theory, practice time and book completions. Every effort is made to make Piano an enjoyable and rewarding experience. 45 minute time slots are preferred for beginners and early intermediate. 60 minutes required for late intermediate and advanced.

I emphasize developing a strong foundation in technique and ear training that will carry over to any musical genre, from world-renowned classical repertoire, to classic rock, jazz, and folk, to children's songs or your favorite radio hits from today.
I am dedicated to unlocking every student's musical potential, at any age or experience level, whether the student is just beginning to explore the keyboard or is preparing for an important audition. But more than experience and insight, I teach students to use music as a vehicle for creativity and expression, and develop a sense of true musicianship that goes beyond playing all the correct notes and the right time.

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.

I have years of experience teaching piano. I mainly have taught children, but I can adapt and teach anyone. I love piano, and I love the art of making music, and I always do my best to help my students learn to share that love! I have a constructive attitude that helps students learn and grow at their own rate, and I help them overcome obstacles and find the joy of playing piano!
