    Learn piano from an experienced music educator

    Learn a solid foundation of knowledge and technique that will propel you into new world of possibility. Through developing the skills of focused practice, discipline, and patience, you will not only expand your creativity and grow as a musician, you will grow as a human being and gain deeper understanding of yourself. The more you understand and accept yourself, the more satisfaction you will enjoy in life. I have found Music and the guitar to be powerful tools for self discovery, healing, and expression and it is part of my mission to enable other's to effectively use these tools for themselves. This can seem overwhelming at first, however, recognize that it starts with simply picking up an instrument - or even just allowing yourself to be curious about the possibility of 'what if?' You could be coming to this for any reason. It doesn't matter if your reason has nothing to do with what I've said above; I will show you how to play guitar. It's up to you to learn how to play and it's up to you to decide how you will use your knowledge. It's also up to you to decide how we go about the learning process. I tend to teach through a combination of learning and working through songs the student likes while introducing different scale fingerings, chords, and exercises involving both to provide the student with a framework with which they can improvise and play. That being said, I'm good at adapting to different learning styles and can adjust to each individual. Guitar, Classical Guitar, Metal Guitar, Jazz Guitar, Rock Guitar, Blues Guitar, Flamenco Guitar, Funk Guitar, Jamming, Improvisation, Learning by ear, Reading Music, Writing Music, Finger Style, Hybrid Picking, Shredding, Music Theory

    About Michael S.

    Hola! Me llamo Sarah! I love watching my students advance and I love watching them enjoy what they are learning. I feel passionate about the Spanish language. It is so amazing to be able to communicate with other people in their native language. People appreciate it more, and it gives you the opportunity to learn much more about the culture of each country. I have spent many years mastering Spanish grammar. I make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. For me, teaching Spanish is not "just a job", it is something I enjoy with all my heart, and I enjoy even more seeing my students improve with each class and finally seeing them become confident and fluent.
