Piano

Hello! I hope you’re excited to start learning about music theory!

I grew up taking classical piano lessons which taught me some great techniques - most of all perseverance. But despite my abilities to play Bach and Mozart, I found myself terribly intimidated by rock and jazz music (what I really wanted to play) because it’s usually chords, not “note-for-note” sheet music. Imagine having to make up the instrumental parts!

My perspective all changed one day when a friend sat down with me and explained chord structure, modes, and how to incorporate different patterns.

Once I realized that musical theory remains intact across all styles of music, I felt freedom in being given a creative license.

Today, I feel confident trying to play any song - and all because I asked a friend for help. Now I want to be that person for you. You don’t need to be intimidated by the piano keys or a certain style. With the right approach everything becomes manageable.

So whether you’re like me and have used sheet music your whole life, or for the first time want to learn how to read sheet music, I’m here to help you start something new.

Teaching students of all ages musical theory. Some students had prior musical knowledge and just needed help fine tuning their skills while others sat down at the piano for the very first time with me. I love watching the progress as students learn!

While some people may learn by ear and others want to read sheet music, I believe learning musical theory is the best method. Once you understand how the notes fit together, you can learn any style: classical, rock, jazz - anything! 

I’ve taught students who are 3 years old and some who are 33! No matter how old or young you are, if you can concentrate for at least 15 minutes everyday and are motivated to play music, then you can learn piano!

So if you’re ready to start learning piano, or want some tips on how to improve, then send me a message!
