Beginners/Intermediates: Learn Piano Online with a Certified Teacher RCM/ABRSM Registered

Greetings! I've enjoyed being a professional piano teacher since 2003. My background includes years of lessons from a concert pianist and a concentration in music. I also served as a pianist for a church orchestra, played with two bands, and have recorded two CDs. My lessons include theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, performance, and a flexibility for enrichment depending on musical preferences. My curriculum may include Faber Piano Adventures, and/or pieces from the syllabi for ABRSM and RCM. I can prepare any student for these or other piano exams. But please note that no exams are required of anyone! Lessons and supplementary genres will be based on your wants. During our first session, we will talk about your goals and you will start to learn immediately. I am patient and thorough in all my teaching, and am also a licensed elementary school teacher. Hoping to hear from you soon!
