Piano with Aaron B.

I am an active musical director, accompanist, and teacher in New York City. I perform in a variety of musical styles— from baroque through contemporary classical, opera, and Broadway. I am a specialist in Dalcroze Education, an innovative approach to music education incorporating rhythmic movement, aural training, and physical, vocal and instrumental improvisation. As a pianist I have performed in Switzerland, England, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons are tailored to your needs, so we will discuss goals, methods, and practicing strategies to keep you excited, directed, and successful. For beginning pianists, I use a variety of piano methods, including Faber, Bryanskaya, 4-hand repertoire, and my own materials. I also take advantage of my training in the Dalcroze approach to music education, which focuses on gesture, improvisation, coordination, and command over the musical language. *** Studio Equipment *** Boston upright, couch, and plants *** Travel Equipment *** I will provide xeroxes for students, staff paper, etc. Students should buy books or copy music as appropriate. *** Specialties *** Piano: beg to adv - prefers inter to adv I am trained in Dalcroze Education, which is an approach to music education that uses movement to connect what the ear hears and what the mind knows.
