Piano with Michael E.

I believe that music should be a source of fun and enjoyment for the student. I work very hard to make sure that both the lessons – and the time spent practicing – are engaging, fulfilling, and most importantly, fun. I have over a decade of experience both performing and teaching piano and bass, in almost every style of music. I have also studied music theory at Binghamton University, and studied jazz theory and performance with Doug Beardsley. *** Lesson Details *** Each lesson is custom tailored to each student’s goal. Whether you want to learn how to play your favorite songs from the radio, introduce your child to the world of music, or take your playing to next level by learning music theory, jazz, or improvisation, I can help you to get there! *** Travel Equipment *** I expect the student to provide a weighted key keyboard or a piano for piano lessons, and a bass guitar (for the student) and practice amp for bass guitar lessons. *** Specialties *** Pop music, improvisation, soul, RnB. I try to teach to a student's tastes, making sure that they like the music they are playing and are having fun practicing. I am also comfortable teaching classical music (piano only) using Suzuki method, or selecting level appropriate materials that the student chooses.
