Paoli, PA Piano Lessons

Piano was my first instrument, and the best instrument for all beginners. I teach everything from the Suzuki method to Elton John to Art Tatum to Herbie Hancock

Do you wish you could play your favorite tunes? Have you always envied those who could sit and play the piano for hours? I can help! Through a series of books, you will learn how to read music, how to play with both hands, proper hand position to give the best performance, and rhythm!

Experienced piano teacher and music therapist of over 30 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of piano skills. I specialize in Simply Music as a certified teacher, I incorporate various styles from Pop, Gospel, Blues, Classical music in my lessons. I also incorporate healthy playing technique to help students get the most out of their piano study no matter what style of music they prefer.

Were you interested in playing piano? I can start you off with music theory to applied piano playing. Were you curious in trying to learn to play the piano for yourself? I can make it easier.

I believe to teach piano effectively you must follow the path that fits the student's personality.

I teach a structured program of sight reading, theory, harmony, and just about every style of music, from Classical to Pop. You will achieve immediate results as well as have fun learning and being creative.

If you want to learn how to write your own music I'll show you how. I have solo recordings available through my site, as well as iTunes, Amazon and CDBaby. My latest recording was with Grammy Award winning producer, Will Ackerman, founder of Windham Hill Records.

I use a combination of theory, creativity, ear training, and physical exercises that are designed to make lessons fun and engaging. We set goals together (large or small) and lesson plans are tailored to students' interests.

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.

Students can expect to develop a passion for music by learning piano in my lessons. Lessons will be fun and I hope to make students not only look forward to the next lesson but want to go home and practice. I have enjoyed playing piano throughout the course of my life and hope to help others gain a sense of passion for music and piano.

When I was eight years old, I begged my parents for a piano and lessons. I just wanted to be able to play like my favorite musicians! It didn’t turn out the way I wanted, but I did learn a solid foundation on which to play and write any music I want.

I’ve taught for many years, but in and out of the public school system. We can set up a plan and measurable goals so you see your accomplishments immediately.
