Piano with Rachel S.

Hi! I'm Rachel! I have a Bachelor's in Music Education from CSULA where I was taught scales and to play from Alfred's Group Piano for Adults book 1. I also completed one year of the Masters in Commercial Music program (also from CSULA) where I took a Jazz, Pop, and Rock Piano course that focused on advanced exercises and popular songs from different genres. I learned some really fun songs and tricks from this class that I'd love to share with you! At Encore School of Music, I subbed for quite a few piano students. The students and I would get to know each other a bit, talk about their curriculum and what their teacher wanted us to focus on, the student would play the piece and I would give them feedback. 9 out of 10 times it was rhythm they struggled with. I love teaching rhythm! I have an abundance of music theory sheets that are meant for kids! I even have my own sheets I made to make it easier! These work for both adults and kids! I can teach you Beginning Piano from Level 1a & up (according to the Alfred's books) or we can take a different approach and learn what you want when you want it! I have done both methods before. Feel free to reach out and ask me any questions you may have! I will do my best to answer you as quickly and as honestly as possible. Thank you for your time! :)
