Piano Lessons in Somerville. Amazing Teachers.

Teaching piano is my passion. I've been teaching piano for 15 years both in my home studio and in various schools, Do-Re-Mi school among them. I am totally committed to the success of my students.

I have been teaching piano for around 10 years, both in a private and school setting, and love to conquer new challenges and goals with my students. It's important to have a firm foundation, so in the first few lessons you will learn a whole new language! You will learn to read music, to recognize notes, simple rhythm, and start to play your first pieces. If you are not a beginner, the first lesson will consist of evaluating your current level and goals in order to move forward smoothly and quickly. I believe people should love what they play, so let me know your favorite songs! I want to help you reach your full potential, therefore I expect my students to be on time, ready to work, and be prepared. I have experience working with all levels, and can't wait to help you grow!

Hi, I’m Britta! I’ve been playing piano since before I can remember. I picked up guitar as a teen. I have been teaching piano lessons since 2016 and guitar since 2018. I approach music lessons with flexibility. The joy of working one-on-one is that we can adjust the lesson to whatever the student brings to the table each time. Practiced a lot? Excellent! Show me what you can do. Having a difficult time with something? Not a problem; let me help. Feeling fatigued? It’s okay; I understand. We’ll take it a tad easier today. I’m sensitive to my students’ needs, and I’m more than happy to make learning an instrument accessible, whatever is going on.

Generally, we start with a warm-up. Then, we proceed to go over the songs the student has been practicing since last time. I provide feedback and coaching. When we’re ready, we move on to new music and assign it for practice. I’m your guide as the music gets progressively more challenging. When time allows, we have several miscellaneous ...
