Set your own musical goals and enjoy piano lessons with motivational Piano teacher.
I not only focus on reading, technique and theory but how these subjects relate to the music you listen to.
I believe music is a language and is understood best in context of of what music you enjoy on a daily basis, that way you can play along.
I like to structure my lessons around the student, focusing on their goals and aspirations.

About Miles H.
5.0
(7)
"Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inner places of the soul." - Plato
Miles grew up surrounded by music. His parents are avid music lovers, and always played music around the house. Whether it was blues, rock, classical or jazz, Miles heard it all before he even knew it. At the age of 6, he began taking classical piano lessons. Then in high school, he taught himself guitar, expanding his repertoire to blues and rock. Though he started learning guitar later in his youth, his piano training allowed him to pick the instrument very quickly. After only a couple years of playing the instrument, he applied to music school for guitar as his principal instrument.
Miles graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor's Degree in Professional Music, concentrating on ear training and Latin Jazz. While studying there Miles played in many jazz and funk ensembles as well as fellow student pop bands that toured the area. While he studied jazz extensively, Miles can teach you a multitude of musical styles, as his vast interest in music has greatly influenced his playing.
While in college, Miles began teaching guitar, as well as tutoring ear training and began loving teaching from there. Though he studied guitar, he has not forgotten his piano roots, and still encourages everyone to learn the instrument, regardless if it’s the first or not. To this day, Miles teaches both guitar and piano, but can also teach bass and ukulele. He strives for each student to truly understand every aspect of music; rhythm, melody and harmony. While he uses common method books and essential repertoire for each instrument, he also feels that students should be able to set their own musical goals, whether it be the latest pop song, or music their parents enjoy. Miles remembers that when he found music enjoyable to listen to it was much more motivating to learn to play. He hopes to bring this kind of enjoyment of music to each of his students.
Advanced students get access to Miles' extensive and ever growing library of pedagogical material, transcriptions and instructional videos!

Our regular piano teacher was on maternity leave. Miles has covered as a substituted teacher for over 3 months. He was very nice, calm and knowledgeable. We do recommend him. He is a great teacher!

Miles was an amazing teacher for me and my son. We both took Piano and Guitar lessons with Miles for close to 2 years and enjoyed every lesson. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to music, can help you focus on the music you want to play and he is just as good with adults as he is with kids! I would highly recommend taking lessons with him and I think he is an amazing teacher
