BEGINNING PIANO and VIOLIN - The foundations of music require many skills layered on top of one another. We will start by learning fingering, note names, and short pieces. The students will be making music even from the beginning. The lessons will progress from learning by rote to reading music. We will incorporate clapping rhythms, singing, and musical games.

INTERMEDIATE PIANO and VIOLIN - We will focus on refining technique, sight-reading, music theory, and building an exciting repertoire of music that they love to play and can share with others.

I look forward to meeting you!

Piano is my main instrument. As a music teacher and composer I realized early on the importance of piano skills. The "mother" of all instruments will help you gain musical knowledge and ability that stems into every aspect of music including music theory, composing, playing other instruments, etc.

Please see my profile.

Hello!

I have been playing piano for 29 years. I have taught piano for 20 years. I was previously a church music director and help out currently on church music teams. I have played for many church functions including camp meetings, conferences and choirs. My background is in Pentecostal style music/worship.

My area of expertise is playing by ear/chording. I can teach in this area from beginner to advanced. I strongly emphasize at least learning the basics in theory/notes.

Beginning students will learn note-reading, right and left hand independence, and basic chords through learning teacher and student-chosen repertoire. Intermediate students will learn to play melody in one hand and harmony in the other as well as more advanced rhythmic and theoretical concepts.
