Bensalem, PA Piano Lessons

I am a professional musician with eight years of teaching experience in both voice and piano lessons. My students include a range of levels and ages who vary in musical aspirations and backgrounds. My students are given every opportunity to become well-rounded, performing musicians when studying with me. I am a friendly, open-minded, enthusiastic musician who loves teaching others!

Why do I teach piano?

Because it has been the greatest source of enjoyment, rejuvenation, and continued growth throughout my life, and I want to share that with everyone I can.

Why should you or your child take piano lessons with me?

Because I offer highly specialized lessons to each student, dependent on their needs and goals so that you too can benefit from a life filled with music. I offer lessons in many styles and supply all students with practical musical knowledge that will lead to full understanding and appreciation.

For young beginner students, students can expect to learn piano basics (note names, chords, etc.) and musical fundamentals, soon moving into learning full songs.

I teach students how to read music notation, scales and chords I encourage students to Learn favorite songs on piano for fun and learn to improvise as well. Basic Classical and Jazz Theory and ear training exercises are employed to help develop overall musicianship in various performance situations.

Beginning students will learn note-reading, right and left hand independence, and basic chords through learning teacher and student-chosen repertoire. Intermediate students will learn to play melody in one hand and harmony in the other as well as more advanced rhythmic and theoretical concepts.

Experienced concert pianist, teacher, and music director available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I enjoy teaching in all levels, and my work experience has included working with special needs children and teaching adults while an Adjunct Faculty member at New York University’s Steinhardt School. Lessons are catered to maximizing the students interests, passions, and strengths. All students have the opportunity to perform in two annual studio recitals for free. Simply put, my goal is to help each student become the best musician they can be.

This is for students who feel they are not as compatible with the classical method of study. I understand and respect that, and can give you repertoire you're more interested in, but don't think that means any less focus on technique and fluency in music!

In piano lessons my goal is to not only give students a knowledge of the instrument but also a love for music and playing. In lessons we will learn how to read music and the basics of music theory while also learning fun songs. For younger students I like to use fun teaching aids as we learn music theory to engage their attention and make learning enjoyable. I also seek to get to know my student's musical interests so that as we progress we can include fun songs into our lessons like Disney songs, popular music, or church music.

All students learn differently so I focus on catering each lesson to the student's goals. I want the student to have fun, feel comfortable, and also be productive in our lessons. Students can expect to learn the foundations of piano including scales and key signatures, while also learning new songs that they want to be able to play. Ultimately, my goal is to have students develop their love for music.

I started playing Piano in college and developed my skills over time. I'm very keen on technique and music theory with my students.

There are obvious fundamental concepts that need to be covered, but my main goal with teaching music is catering lessons towards the students end goal. They will lose all intrinsic motivation if they are learning based on external factors such as fear, rewards, etc. I also have an extensive background in improvisation which is an under-appreciated form of expression. Improvisation equates to spontaneous composition.
