Cumberland Center, ME Piano Lessons

The basic approach provides a series of exercises and music from simple to the more sophisticated, along with hints and tips for their completion.

I've been teaching piano now for 15 years. My goal is for the student to learn to play by feel in addition to reading music. A standard lesson would consist of some playing in books and going over some music theory followed by playing by feel. This would include blues,jazz, and rock grooves. My approach is creative and customized to the prospective student. The student needs to enjoy learning the piano. A happy student is a successful one.

Over 35 yrs experience, teaching and playing.
Classical to Jazz
Fun + work.

Every student has unique needs. Any student will succeed if the instruction is tailored to their learning processes. Since every student learns in a different fashion, it is necessary to use both traditional methodology and Suzuki methodology while teaching. Each student is placed in the program and course that best suits their learning needs. I expect my students to attend the lesson every week, complete all assignments, and listen to directions.

I teach beginning and intermediate piano for adults and children. I will teach you to read music and understand the theory that goes behind it. Like teaching voice I start with a classical foundation then build from there, along with scales, arpeggios, chords/structure, etc. Then from there we dive into whatever music you wish to play. Whether you want to work through books like Faber's Piano Adventures, or Alfred's Adult technique books or you just want to learn to play your favorite songs, I will help you navigate how to play!

Ready to have fun learning piano? Whether you've played before or have never touched a keyboard, I teach all levels of experience. I work hard for the student to learn every aspect of the piano while learning from the comfort of his or her home. Classical, jazz, rock, pop, you name it, I will help you learn any kind of genre you like! I am easy going, but will still push you enough to achieve greatness. I look forward to teaching and helping you reach your goals! :)

I took 5 years of piano lessons when I started music in elementary school and continued piano lessons through college.
