Learn Video Game, Anime or Classical Piano!

It is my goal to develop in each of my students a comprehensive understanding of music which enables them to play the piano with utmost enjoyment and musicality. Quality piano instruction is achieved through focused private lessons. Although with many students I emphasize classical repertoire, it really doesn't work with every student. Each student's curriculum is ALWAYS tailored to their interests and goals. I find encouragement is absolutely necessary but students must try their best. My teaching style consists of a fun, relaxed environment where students can feel like they can express themselves fully and learn much at the same time. Mastery at the piano is so much more than learning to press the right keys at the right time. Music is about expressing and sharing human emotions and feelings that are unspoken and is something we can all be touched by.

I am all about teaching the whole musician, meaning that you will not be learning just piano but all the skills necessary to be the best musician you can be! This includes ear training, music theory, sight-singing and more.

I am en experienced teacher with a decade of experience and an active performer in the classical and jazz genres. I have taught students from ages 3-70 years old and I can help you achieve your musical goal whether it be learning the instrument from scratch as an enthusiast or becoming a professional musician in the current industry landscape. I am a composer and arranger and I also teach composition/arranging/theory lessons.

Piano is an amazing instrument and has so much power. Have you wanted to learn your favorite songs? The piano is an easy instrument to start learning those and the way I focus on learning music is by focusing on the songs you like to play and listen to.

We focus on ear training, theory, proper practice techniques. We will learn excersizes to help us play with both hands better.

I also am a Jazz musician, so we can talk about imrovisation and comping as well

Music lessons should be fun, encouraging and full of music that you love. They are an opportunity to learn something new, show your improvement, and receive correction, encouragement and praise. Students and instructors should play together frequently throughout and the time should be balanced with theory, technique and exercises, sight-reading, and performance and seasoned with introductions to a variety of music and styles. I like to encourage students to play because they love to play and to find the music that is an integral part of their soul, then to share that with others through performance. What do you want to do with or gain from your music? We will work toward your goals.

I have taught private piano for 19 years, and I specialize in the beginner/intermediate piano student! All ages are welcome. I will customize each lesson to the needs of each student. Every student learns differently and at a different pace. I include technique, music theory, performance, and more in my curriculum. I have a degree in music education and plenty of references. I'm excited to meet you!

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.

I am a professional pianist pursuing a bachelor's of music in piano performance. I have advanced skills in theory and aural training so I am able to teach many skills of musicianship. Your student will gain more than just notes and counts in my studios, they will understand the structure of the music they are playing. I also teach students to improvise and compose so they are able to play beyond music sheet music. Students will also participate in group classes where they will gain extra performing experience and learn to work with others. I teach students ranging from beginning to advanced levels of playing.

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.
