Piano Lessons in Sterling Heights. Amazing Teachers.

Patty started working as a piano teacher when she was studying music bachelor at the university in Thailand (2002-2006). She has over 17 years of experience teaching piano. She was a piano judge for National Federation of Music Clubs (MFMC) ,who rates piano student performances in Michigan. She was also a managing director (Owner) of Music Academy in Westland, Michigan. She has experienced teaching children with special needs, and trained in person-centered planning with children, adults and families.

Patty’s goal, as a piano teacher, is to share her love for music and playing the piano with each student. All lessons are uniquely tailored to fit each student's strengths and weaknesses. Patty is well liked by both students and parents for her infectious enthusiasm when conducting her piano lessons, and dedication in imparting her music skills to her students. Patty makes sure each student feels confident in their abilities and leaves class with a confident smile on their face!

I use many of the method books. I believe there is not one method for everyone, as everyone learns differently.

As a professional musician, songwriter and composer, I often use the piano/keyboard for composition, arrangement and sound design. Although my primary instruments are alto saxophone and guitar, having piano skills have been an asset in visualizing the musical spectrum.

I've had two years formal training on Piano, and taught 2nd Year Piano in NYC public and private schools.

I've been teaching piano for three years. I specialize in beginning to intermediate pianists and love using games to learn notes, written activities, duets, and pop songs to enrich students' learning experience. I use the Music Tree series for children ages 5-9, and for older children and adults, I use Alfred's Piano Library curriculum.

From the beginner to the intermediate player I can help you increase your piano skills. If you have no experience that is okay! I am especially well experienced with children and try to come up with creative and entertaining methods to help them reach their piano goals.

I come from a very musical family and have years of professional gigging experience with cover bands, mostly rock and pop, but also country, folk, indie, jazz, blues. I teach and love classical piano as well! All levels are welcome. First I will help you find the method book and level that is appropriate for you, then I help you plan out your goals. My studio has recitals every 3 months. I like to focus heavily on rhythm reading skills as a foundation for all instruments I teach, and once you have that down, reading music is easy!! :)
