Classical piano is very beautiful. Your fist homework assignment is to listen to it regularly to begin to understand it. Piano is a very logical instrument. I will break everything down for you in a simple way for you to understand. We will learn different styles and genres to make things interesting. We will learn how to write a song, play along to a track and learn to play by ear and by reading music.
I am excited to get to know you and help you grow in your talent!

I have been playing the piano since I was five years old, and when I began I didn't particularly like playing. Because of that, I have learned how to make it fun for young aspiring pianists. When we begin, we will of course learn basic technique and simple classical songs, but we will also learn simple arrangements of popular songs that will catch your child's attention. As we progress through the learning process, the student's input will be very important to me. We will learn songs that are important to their growth, and songs that they want to perform.
I believe that if the student wants to play the piano, they should learn songs that they want to learn while simultaneously learning correct technique and methods that will help them to eventually learn pieces without the support or help of a teacher.

Playing the piano is a passion of mine and I bring that passion into the lesson. I like to focus on making the lessons fun and enjoyable and giving the students to play songs that they are interested in as well as focusing on technique and theory. I love sharing my joy of piano playing with others.

In my teaching philosophy, I always teach students to understand the music better throughout the historical concepts. To let them enhance their understanding of the connection between music and life. I also stress that to be a good musician or artist, you have to learn how to be a good human being first. Because, people’s personality or character could reflect in their music as always. 1. To train the basic fundamental techniques 2. To learn the different style of the music throughout Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern music. 3. To train the performance mode 4. To learn how to "practice"

Every student is unique. Because of this, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to teaching. A teacher and the curriculum a teacher uses must be adaptable.

I believe in goal based practicing and learning. So many students quit lessons because they cannot stand the monotony of going to a lesson and practicing only to check off one song every week. They may also quit because parents tire of the incessant prodding needed to get a student to practice. If a student has personal goals that they have set and decided upon, they will be more inclined to continue learning and they will enjoy the challenge. Although there are some aspects of learning any musical instrument that you cannot push to the side, I believe there are times when a student does not have to be well-versed in every area or genre of the instrument.

No matter your background or goals, I have the experience and training to help you attain your those goals and get you closer to reaching your vision. I have taught six ...

Experienced professional pianist/keyboardist, specializing in teaching the techniques real, working musicians use when they play. All ages and levels of experience welcome. What I teach is a simple, direct, and accessible way of looking at music that takes it off of the page and into the student's ears and fingers. My students learn not only to play in their genre of choice (be it Classical, Jazz, etc.), but also how that knowledge enables them to transition to another genre if they so desire. In the process they also how to sight-read and improvise. Please send me a message if you would like more information! I would love to hear from you.

I am a recent graduate from Utah State University. I received my degree in Piano Pedagogy. I have been teaching piano lessons for 8 years and plan to teach for the rest of my life! I teach all levels and ages (including adults!)
Piano teaching is my passion, I love sharing my love and knowledge of music with others.

My piano lessons are fun and engaging for students of all ages and abilities. No matter if you're learning your favorite pop tune by ear, studying sight-reading basics, or re-learning a Beethoven Sonata. You should always be having fun while doing something you love! Having taught a wide array of ages and skill-levels, I strive to understand each student's preferred learning style. I look forward to helping you achieve your piano goals.
