Piano with Jessica N.

I absolutely love teaching! I taught private piano lessons in Gainesville, Florida and throughout my doctorate program. I graduated from Dickinson College with Neuroscience, Biology, and Music degrees. I have been playing piano for over 20 years through private lessons as well as national and international competitions. I have always had piano in my life and love to share my passion with others! *** Lesson Details *** I love to make lessons fun and painless. I require minimal practice time outside of the lesson (although more is always better!!) I commonly use Faber Piano Adventures series for beginner students, but I also love to give a student another piece from a well known composer to give them a bit of a challenge for us to work through together. I am extremely understanding of busy schedules. After 3 months of beginner lessons, my students knows how to play several small pieces and are developing their technique. By technique, I mean how to sit at the piano, place the hands at the piano, and touch the keys! They will feel comfortable playing their pieces and some may play them by memory! I plan the lessons so that they are always very fun. *** Studio Equipment *** I have an upright apartment piano with absolutely beautiful tone. It is located in the living room with seating for parents. *** Specialties *** Primarily classical music
