Classical Piano Lessons in Somerville. Amazing Teachers.

I employ healthy and efficient practicing and teaching technique through relaxation, gradual learning and individual approach. The lessons may also include theory, analysis, basic of advanced composition and many other aspects depending on the student's needs and abilities. The main goal is that my students are able to get fully engaged in the process of learning and enjoy every minute of it!

Classical piano is a beautiful art, changing through time. It is a wonder to explore the different worlds of baroque, classical, romantic, and modern music. We will focus on expression and technique, learning the correct style for each period. From beginner Tchaikovsky pieces to sweet Chopin Ballades, it's all at our fingertips.

Curriculum:

Scales- Learning the scales, including arpeggios, broken chords, and correct fingering are all essential to improving technique. And it can be fun too!

Etudes- From Czerny to Chopin to Liszt, all etudes are beneficial, and often required in college auditions as well as competitions. But a lot of them are absolutely gorgeous.

Memorization- A great skill to have is to be able to play from memory. Most recitals, concerts, auditions, festivals, you name it, are all played from memory. It's a fantastic way to improve thinking ability, and self confidence on stage, and your musical abilities.

Ear Training and Sight Reading- ...

I teach beginner to intermediate piano. I love to teach the incredible repertoire of classical music and also incorporate sight reading, scales, and hymn playing.

My piano teaching experience covers over 3 decades. I am of a direct teaching lineage to the legendary Clara Schumann. My students have won competitions. Have a teaching channel on-line, that shows the proof of the work I do with my students. If you follow my micro-management and practice directions, you will succeed in your goals!! Your tuition includes participation in my monthlyu master class Saturday mornings. If you are online, you may Skype in and perform or observe.

I have been teaching piano for 8 years and playing for 23 years. I use a strong classical foundation repertoire and we can expand into learning songs of your choice. I work with the pace of my students. Lessons are combined with technique and warm ups, and learning new music and performance techniques. I can teach you how to read music and take a simple song into sounding pro!
I love my students and look forward to meeting and working with you and helping guide you on on your musical journey!
I prefer to use Google Meet, Zoom or FaceTime for Lessons :)
