Masters Degree in Piano Performance Bachelors of Fine Arts in Jazz Piano Performance Golden Key International Honor Society Member MTNA *** Lesson Details *** My philosophy is to push you to exceed your expectations and reach your goals while still having fun. I will push you, but gently and show you a lot of effective ways of practicing so that you achieve more in less time. I am big on technique and really believe in the importance of developing a solid technique, which I will help you to acquire. A strong technique will give you the tools you need to play whatever you want skillfully. With a commanding technique you will be able to focus on making beautiful music. Are you a singer? Develop your piano/keyboard skills and you can learn to accompany yourself. I generally divide the lesson into three sections: Technique Repertoire/Sectional Work Music Theory I feel it is important to bring all of these elements into all areas of music education, particularly performance. What is most important is that you are enjoying your music educational experience. Looking forward to your lessons, enjoying your practice time and having a sense of accomplishment. I will push you to exceed your own expectations but you will set the pace as well as determine what music you desire to play. *** Studio Equipment *** Yamaha Grand Piano Baldwin Upright Piano *** Travel Equipment *** Ipad/Ipad Stand Urtext Music Scores Scales, Arpeggios Hanon, Czerny, Cramer, Brahms Exercises Music Theory Books Music Theory Worksheets Music Theory Assignment Sheets Practice Assignment Sheets *** Specialties *** I specialize in developing a strong technique at the piano to help the student facilitate dexterity and independent finger strength.
