Piano Lessons in South Windham, ME. Amazing Teachers.

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.

I have taught piano for 50 years, tutoring approximately 2,000 adults and children, many which are professional musicians today. I have been a fulltime teacher for 25 years, residing in the Phoenix Arizona area. My teaching style is casual yet structured. My youngest student is 3 years old..my oldest is 82 years old. Children are taught systematic...adults are taught according to their goals. I evaluate each student, setting goals and helping them accomplish them. I offer two recitals with students each year. I have also written an adult beginner piano course, "How To Play Piano in 12 Weeks", with a guarantee that 6 favorite songs will be played in that time. All these lessons are taught on-line. Teaching is not only my passion, it is my purpose!

My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the course of learning piano. Recently, my students have earned top prizes/marks in various competitions and exams. However, I also support students who pursue piano as their passion and hobby. I can also guide preparation for Grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams and Levels 1 - 5 of ABRSM Theory.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees ...

The student must be self-motivated and consistent about his lessons by, self-motivated, I mean, that if it's a child, he should be learning because he wants to learn (not his parents,etc.} There is no one answer to this question (what can students expect from my lessons) because that would depend on the students interests. Ive
studied clasical. pop. rock, classic rock, jazz and improvisation. If, for example, the student is an adult who is taking lessons because it's something he wanted to do all of his life, he'll pick a song that he likes and we can start working on it right away. If necessary, I'll transpose it to an easier key, but he won't leave my studio without knowing exactly what he needs to practice until his next lesson. I tell students (especially parents) not to push practicing. If the student isn't practicing at home, he has lost motivation. He can stop and come back when he wants to learn. I consider it m job to keep the student motivated by suppling what they ...
