Piano Lessons in Kingston. Amazing Teachers.

All students are required to learn the basics in piano, such as,
the lines, spaces in both clefs, time signatures, note values.
Once the students have mastered the above, they can go on to learn
major and minor scales along with music pieces.
Students play songs that are in the John Thompson book and also
plays some supplementary songs.

My teaching revolves around students with disabilities because that is my area of expertise. Working at Hostos Community College in the Arc program I was able to work with a variety of amazing students who needed more patience, understanding and routine. I focus on repetition and use online programs such as Emedia and Noteflight to enhance my assignments so the tutoring is never dull.

My piano lessons are geared specifically to meet your student right where they are at. From never having touched a piano to being able to play by ear, I am the teacher for you! Excited to get to help your students grow in their talent.

What you'll expect is a mix of sight reading, technique learning and playing, book performance and improvisation by ear for each lesson in the style the student wishes to learn about. If needed, I also write individual exercises tailored to each student and their practice routine. I teach them all of the major, minor and modal scales, chords, arpeggios, proper hand positioning and fingering. I teach many ages, especially beginners up to level 5 in piano levels.

Experienced musician with 3 years of teaching experience to a wide range of ages. I am encouraging with a focus on emotional release through music. I don't want to force someone to care about piano. I want to teach them how it can be used as a form of self expression, and how to make that beautiful. However, I am firm about the importance of practice.
