    About Borey S.

    Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience teaching and am currently available to teach lessons at your home. I can teach piano, accordion, composition, music theory, and electronic music production. I am adept at a wide range of genres including classical, jazz, hip-hop, folk, country, R&B, and pop. I have taught students of all ages, from young children to adults, from both contemporary and classical music backgrounds. My teaching philosophy is holistic and incorporates keyboard technique, basic and advanced elements of rhythm and harmonic analysis, music theory, and ear training. I am especially adept with teaching jazz piano and improvisation, from beginner to advanced levels. I am firmly committed to the education of students from all types of musical and cultural backgrounds. *** Travel Equipment *** I would expect my students to provide their own piano (or keyboard) or accordion, depending on what they want to learn. *** Specialties *** I specialize in jazz, improvisation, composition, music theory (classical or jazz) as well as electronic music production
