Piano

I've been banging on the piano since I was 3, but piano became more structured when I turned 7 and I've loved piano so much since then!  I've been classically trained in the US and then later in Italy, but I've been playing since early 2001. My favorite genre is Modern Japanese Classical music (fancy name for anime and video game music).  While studying abroad with my Maestro in Italy however, I was only allowed to play classical music so I became even more proficient in that musical genre. 
     I have been teaching Children and Adult students since 2010.  People aren't' intimidated when I'm around and I believe students benefit greatly when they are comfortable with the teacher and can feel natural around them.  The teaching process is most successful when the students share their ideas, disagreements, goals; when they are challenged and test their abilities. 
***Lesson Details***
I am very laid back and love to laugh, but I do expect the students to be prepared and practice, this way they benefit the most from each teaching session.  I believe students should be involved in their curriculum, so I encourage all to bring in pieces THEY WANT to play because this will make the learning process overall more fun and enjoyable. My trust is, if you practice regularly you can accomplish much in a short period of time. Whatever you put into learning piano, is what you will get out, whether great or small.
***Specialties***
- Modern Japanese Classical : Yoko Shimamura, Nobuo Uematsu ... 
     (Video Game and Anime)
- Classical : Joplin, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff ...
- Italian Technique Training

Check me out on Takelessons Live to see how I teach!!

It is my goal to develop in each of my students a comprehensive understanding of music which enables them to play the piano with utmost enjoyment and musicality.  Quality piano instruction is achieved through focused private lessons. Although with many students I emphasize classical repertoire, it really doesn't work with every student. Each student's curriculum is ALWAYS tailored to their interests and goals. I find encouragement is absolutely necessary but students must try their best. My teaching style consists of a fun, relaxed environment where students can feel like they can express themselves fully and learn much at the same time. Mastery at the piano is so much more than learning to press the right keys at the right time.  Music is about expressing and sharing human emotions and feelings that are unspoken and is something we can all be touched by.

Sabrina is a great teacher.  She is patient, knowledgeable, and makes learning the piano fun. You can tell she truly wants you to progress and loves to teach.  Highly recommended!!!

Sabrina is an awesome instructor, I have been working with her now for 3 1/2 years. She is flexible, caring knowledgeable and a great teacher. It is always fun working with her.  

Sabrina is a patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable teacher. She's great at finding exercises and pieces that are challenging but not overwhelming. I am motivated to continue learning and try things I might not otherwise. Thank you! Highly recommended instructor.

Sabrina is such a fabulous instructor,  She pushes you, but not so hard that you give up, but you stay challenged.  It is such a pleasure working with her.  I highly recommend her for private lessons

Sabrina always challenges me to be better without overwhelming me.  She is such a wonderful instructor

It is always such a pleasure working with Sabrina,  she is encouraging and challenging at the same time.

I love working with Sabrina,  She is talented, well educated and has the great ability to share her knowledge in an understandable way.  She pushes you, but not so hard that you get frustrated.  Such a fun instructor.

Sabrina  is the best piano teacher! She encourages you to play pieces you are passionate about helps you achieve your goals. I always have fun during our lessons and feel challenged with the work. As an adult learning piano, I never knew I could achieve what I have, with the guidance of Sabrina as my instructor. She is patient and awesome!

Sabrina is very patient and good with my energetic 7 year old boy!  Thank you!

Amazing teacher, I would recommend this instructor to anyone learning piano.
