Piano Lessons in Finksburg. Amazing Teachers.

I have been teaching piano to a wide variety of ages at several different levels for over eight years. I have a wholistic approach to learning classical piano, incorporating theory and music history into my teaching style. Because my degree is in piano, voice, and chorale conducting, I have a unique opportunity to relate several different ideas to the 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 16 years of piano teaching experience, and have worked steadily as a singer-songwriter and in pop, rock and variety bands (as a keyboard player).

I teach students how to read music notation, scales and chords I encourage students to Learn favorite songs on piano for fun and learn to improvise as well. Basic Classical and Jazz Theory and ear training exercises are employed to help develop overall musicianship in various performance situations.

This course is designed to help students of all ages, learn the fundamentals of piano. We will focus on proper technique, music theory and most important ear training. I believe music is a language and you must develop your "ears" to understand how to fully play piano!

I also teach beginning piano for children and adults, either seperately, or in tandem with voice lessons. If you are looking to advance your musicality while studying voice, or to introduce your child to both beginning piano and voice, I highly recommend this approach. I customize lessons to accommodate the age and ability of the student, and teach the basics of piano technique, reading music and other aspects of beginning music theory.
