Piano instructor

A holistic and relevant approach to teaching piano and music skills to anyone.
 
Holistic Approach
 
The phrase “Holistic Approach” simply means that I teach the student, not the lesson.  Every student has a different learning style, goal, strengths and weaknesses.  It means I will teach all the elements of music in context of the big picture, not just learn the written language of music.  It means I will think outside the box and customize the learning journey to help each student reach their own potential.
 
My goal is to facilitate students’ own exploration of the piano and its language so that they can learn to play anything independently.  It’s a matter of “learning how to learn,” and making connections between all of the knowledge they gain. That comes through a functional, relevant introduction to music, as opposed to going through the motions of a method book alone, to memorize numerous isolated facts and repeat them indefinitely.
 
I am still not a perfect player and I can’t make any guarantees you’ll be a concert pianist.  I am confident, however, that I can teach you in a more effective and balanced way to help you gain the skills you need to play better; whether casually or more formally.

I am a life-long musician with training in flute, piano, and vocal technique and performance.  I attended Spring Arbor University received my associates in Piano Pedagogy in 2004.  I am the pianist at Christ Church Fraser in Fraser, MI and I also play for weddings, funerals, and other events.  I have been teaching piano since Iwas 13, when my teacher gave me referrals for beginners.  I especially love to teach students with special needs and very young beginners.
