    Piano for beginners!

    Welcome to piano class, where I strive to provide exceptional instruction to individuals of all ages and experience levels. My beginner-friendly approach emphasizes the importance of practice to achieve proficiency in traditional teaching methods. We believe that learning an instrument should be a fun and rewarding experience, which is why we incorporate popular music into our curriculum. This approach not only keeps students engaged but also motivates them to continue their musical journey. As a dedicated instructor, I have years of experience and am committed to helping students develop essential skills such as sight-reading, music theory, ear training, and improvisation. My personalized teaching style allows students to learn at their own pace and focus on areas they find challenging. We encourage parents or guardians to participate in the learning process by attending lessons with their children or providing support at home through regular practice sessions. With dedication and perseverance, I am confident that each student can reach their full potential in this wonderful art form. Enroll now in piano class and unlock your musical potential!

    About William S.

    5.0
    (9)
    William plays an eclectic mix of Americana ranging from blues, swing, folk, and jazz. Early in his music career, he focused on blues artists from the ‘50s and ‘60s such as Nina Simone and B.B. King. He transitioned to playing folk/rock such as James Taylor and The Band. The result is a guitar player and vocalist with an eclectic style of off-beat swing with engaging musical progressions.
