Piano with Jacob K.

I place a heavy emphasis on not just playing but understanding the music. Understanding what you're playing is a key difference between an amateur and a professional musician. Music is all about relationships and patterns. The more patterns and relationships you learn to readily recognize and identify the more affluent you become in your musical mastery. On piano, students can learn how to create an accompaniment from a lead sheet (chord chart) while playing the melody or learn sight reading to improve learning efficiency for more exact music (classical). Technique and fingering is always an important part of learning the piano.
