Music Theory with Dayton O.

My teaching philosophy is to empower people to learn and explore piano, and music in general, on their own. I may teach myself out of a job doing this, but I believe in giving people the tools to teach themselves. I do this by not only making piano something fun for you, but also by demystifying some of the misconceptions about piano. For instance, did you know you don't have to learn how to read music. I think it helps, but there have been plenty of happy, talented pianists who couldn't read a note. When you take lessons with me, we start by figuring out your musical goals. You might not know them, but you have them, I promise. Then, we map out exactly what things you need to learn in order to hit those goals. Under my guidance - my training wheels, if you will - you'll gain a rock-solid understanding of how music works in general. Along with that, I'll teach you the tools, resources and practice routines you need to go exactly where you want to go musically. I can teach children, but because I like living like a gypsy, I prefer to teach adults via online lessons. Also, I prefer people who are motivated to learn a new skill for the fun of it or to better themselves. Not kids whose parents are forcing them to learn. With that said, I love to laugh during the lessons, I'd hope you're down to join me :) Thanks for your time, Dayton
