Kensington, MD Classical Piano Lessons

For almost 12 years, I train, mentor, and guide my students to become excellent and articulate in piano performance with love and passion for Music. As their teacher, I make it appoint that they have develop technical mastery of the instrument, good sight reading skills, a solid understanding of tonal and harmonic concepts, and familiarity with musical styles from different periods. Additionally, as a trained Music therapist, I bring knowledge and insight to the inner workings of each and every student I teach, helping them to reach their fullest potential.

I'm an experienced piano teacher for over 11 years that's looking to work with eager students of all experience levels from ages 5 & up! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation in what they need to know to be successful.

I have been profoundly classically trained in music for over 12 years. Started as a tutor at the age of 16 and kept going till this day, for over 11 years now.
I like to build great relationships with all of my students, weather they are adults, teenagers or children. For me it is very important students gets to feel comfortable at my lessons, as in this way they can focus better, have more fun and learn faster how to hit their goals in the musical field.

I earned my B.A. in music at Hood College and have spent the last fifteen years teaching general music classes as well as private voice and piano. I am also a preschool teacher in Montgomery County and my strengths lie in working with young children. If you are looking for a beginning piano teacher for your child, I would love to meet you! I use the Alfred series and generally have students work out of the technique, repertoire and theory books. Lessons are designed to be a half hour, and I understand the importance of changing activities frequently and keeping lessons fun and engaging when working with young children.

My goal is to make your musical dreams come true. Whether your little one wants to play nursery rhymes with two hands or you want to play a virtuosic work by Rachmaninoff, my quality lessons will help you reach your goals.

What I enjoy most about teaching piano is:

The opportunity to transform the piano into more than a box with buttons, but rather an instrument capable of communicating every type of human emotion in limitless ways, that is if our bodies are up to the task.

As a musician who takes excellent care of his health with physical activities and sound (pun intended) nutrition, I'm a firm believer that playing the piano requires lots of physical control, dexterity, and poise.

This notion is consistently proven true again and again when I give lessons to children and adults who are engaged in physical training outside of studying music.

Because they are in good shape, they can demand much more from their bodies, which instantly heightens their musicianship and individual artistic expression.

This is what separates me from 99.99% percent of piano teachers.
