Piano with Patricia R.

I am a New England Conservatory graduate, employed for the last decade as the feature pianist at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel. I am qualified to teach all levels of piano and music theory from the beginner to the aspiring professional. I have taught for the last 20 years and my experience as a performer and recording artist means that I will be able to help you achieve a level of success that you have always dreamed of. *** Lesson Details *** I believe goals are important and I will be realistic and encouraging to any prospective student in identifying them. Beginning students will learn proper technique, reading skills, and understanding the role dynamics play in creating good sound. The teachers I have worked with have pedigrees that go all the way back to Beethoven and I carry their wisdom and look forward to sharing that. Depending on the starting point of an individual student, in 6 months one can expect to see a marked improvement in their ability to perform, and increase their understanding of making music. *** Studio Equipment *** steinway grand in living room w/ seating for parents *** Specialties *** pop, classical, jazz
