Piano with Rhonda F.

F. Piano Instruction

Introduction: Please note: I am in Fairport, New York, but teach across the US (and internationally) by Skype. I offer a music lesson experience with special attention to each student's individual needs and goals-you are not just another number in a large music school. My education (three degrees in Piano Performance from USC, plus years of vocal study), performance experience (international tours as an accompanist) and teaching experience (both university and private) give me a unique perspective. I am also involved in theatre, which gives depth to my coaching. I use technology to work on both the audio and visual aspects of performance. Lessons are structured to include both technique and repertoire. I also offer Skype lessons for long distance clients. I look forward to working with you! With the musical moments and the joy which progress brings. Seeing my students playing in concerts, Master Class and Recitals and the pride of their family and friends is very rewarding for all.

Reviews: You’ve unlocked the reviews widget! Sarah P. In the two years I studied from Rhonda I learned more about the piano than I had in my previous eight years of piano lessons. Not only did she help me to improve my technical abilities but my expressive abilities as well. She pushed me to improve my skills and never allowed me to plateau, always pushing me on to something that would continue to challenge me as an artist. I would recommend her to anyone. She is truly passionate about music, which makes her an even better instructor. Feb 20, 2015 Respond Karen J.

Rhonda Fischer instructed my son in piano for several years. She has the winning combination of technical expertise and a friendly manner that allows kids to feel special and engaged in the learning process. As parents, it is helpful for a teacher to understand kids, and Rhonda has that ability to connect with children. I recommend Rhonda for piano; theory, practice, and composition are all in her wheelhouse. Jan 23, 2015 Respond Maia P. I have double the experience as both a student of hers and as a piano teacher for my 5 year old daughter. Rhonda could explain whys I had, correct subtleties in form, inspire, and work with me and my daughter on expressing classical pieces written so long ago. Looking for an exceptional teacher who can take you from 0-100 is not easy, because a beginner most likely doesn't know all that's involved with learning correct form and all that goes into teaching classical pieces. Rhonda is open, caring, and doesn't hold back on giving. Enjoy her....she's a gem!…Read more Jan 1, 2015 Respond
