We will focus on fundamentals, and have fun in the process!

Hello,

I am a graduate from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in Piano and Film Scoring. I also teach composition. Styles of music included: Film Score, Classical, Pop, Rock. I also teach scales, finger exercises, chords, theory and basic songs, and theory. I am fun, easy to get along with, very patient with kids and adults, and have a fun sense of humor. If you are inclined, I am willing to come to your home with a 3 layered mask and stay at least 6ft or more from the student.

I have been teaching the piano for 30 years. My lessons are fun and interesting. My student can chose the songs they want to play. I explain the material in an easy way to understand for all levels and ages.

My specialty is taking beginners from kids to adults, removing the fear of playing, and replacing it with joyful practice and achievable goals.

Here are the core things that I focus on in Piano lessons.

Alignment is the basis a great technique. Each person is different, and knowing how to help them release unwanted tension is critical.
Building hand coordination is essential to playing piano. A variety of agility and strengthening exercises will help you gain greater control and comfort in playing.

Articulation and phrasing is how pianists convey emotion. By Understanding the different colors available, a performer can create a dynamic and moving experience.

Selecting songs for your skill level and interest is important. Playing music you love will make your experience more enjoyable

I very much like but not take it seriously with an American way of learning skills by just having fun lessons without committed practice. I trust in every child’s sense of understanding and smart motivation.
Russian school of teaching piano is traditionally the best due to centuries of polishing teaching skills by greatest musicians and teachers. We strive to master both technique and artistry. However, in reality, to achieve this might be a challenge. A fun makes it better. I use a combined American and Russian approach. To help students keep progressing, balancing between hard work and fun attitude, between technical skills and artistically emotional performance is my philosophy and passion.
