About Jan D.

5.0

(1)

I am a professional piano teacher and music educator. I graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a Master's Degree in Music Education. Piano students can expect to improve week to week in their piano technique. Every student needs a unique teaching style for their personality. I can help any student to learn to play piano with freedom, confidence, and expression. I teach piano students of all different ages and experience levels. I studied classical piano for 19 years, and contemporary keyboard for 7 of those. I can teach students to read music and perform classical repertoire, to learn how to play contemporary music using chord sheets, or both depending on the goals and preference of the student. My personal passion is classical music but I firmly believe that great technique is essential to any and every style. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better musician! Jan D
