Piano with Steve A.

I am certified in Music Education by the State Board for Educator Certification and have 35 years experience working in individualized education. I am currently accepting a small number of students for piano, ear-training, sight-reading, and/or music theory lessons. We will discuss what you need and develop an individual plan for you based on your goals. I accept students from age 15 through adult. Classical piano training for beginning, intermediate, or advanced students. Ear training, including relative pitch, interval recognition, and sight-reading. Music theory training from beginning music reading through four-part harmonic dictation. Preparation for music theory exams, including AP courses and the AP exam. Upon request I can provide references from students who have found my approach to be greatly beneficial to them. I look forward to working with you. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons are held either in my home studio in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston or via Skype. Each lesson lasts approximately 45 minutes, depending upon when we reach a good stopping point. My only requirement is that you have access to a piano or electronic keyboard on a daily basis in order that you may practice. I require three hours' advance notice of cancellation in order for you to avoid having to pay for a missed lesson. *** Studio Equipment *** Kawai upright studio piano *** Specialties *** Kodaly Concept Adult beginner/intermediate students Technique exercises and development Musicianship, including period-appropriate interpretation and expression Music theory
