Classical Piano with Brandon N.

I've been teaching Piano for 5+ years in both public schools and my private studio. I train my students to have fundamental music skills that break the barrier of being just a piano player; I train musicians! To play solo or work in a band, to prep for an audition or develop skills as an improvisor, I am confident in my ability to help people foster a healthy relationship with Music. I started as a classical pianist and switched my focus to jazz when I went to study at university. Areas I am proficient and tend to teach: Finger Power -Scales -Arpeggios -Chords -Inversions Technique -Hand shape -Posture -Weight vs Speed -Rotation Sight Reading -Rhythm exercises -Note reading -Chord symbols -Lead sheet interpretation Ear Training -Interval practice -Chord quality -Melodic dictations -Rhythmic dictations Repertoire -Jazz -Classical -R&B -Rock & Roll -Video Game music -Movie Scores Qualifications: Bachelor in Jazz Piano Performance Washington State University Outstanding Soloist @ The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, 2016
