Moseley, VA Piano Lessons

I am a passionate teacher and believe in the musical potential of all students. I am eager to work your child to help unlock their abilities and motivation. It is my view that communication is a two-way road and it is excited to provide instruction while properly communicating with her students. Through this, I can overcome each individual’s obstacles and also enhance their inner strengths. With the right instruction, developing the right motivation, and of course practice, she feels every student has the potential for great success.

Piano/ Vocal Teaching

I have been instructing students on piano for over 10 years and teach any age! From the elementary level to the pre-collegiate my students achieve success through a fun and personalized curriculum. I use a variety of methods and books that differ for each student and plan professional student shows that give my students a practical application to their instruction!

I love teaching students how to play the piano. I enjoy helping them achieve their specific goals. I am all about increasing my students' musicality to the fullest potential. I can help them learn the skill of sight-reading (Imagine knowing how to immediately play a piece of music that you have never seen before!) I can also teach them how to play by ear/improvise
(Wouldn't it be nice to be able to successfully play a song from your brain on your first try?) I'd love to teach you how to play.

We will learn the scales, chords and of course songs! The main focus is to play with good technique as to prevent injury and expression!

With over fifteen years of experience, I am passionate about teaching piano in a way that leaves each student truly inspired at the end of each lesson. The piano is the most logically laid out instrument for new learners. It's also my favorite one to play! You will learn scales, arpeggios, ear training, notation, music reading and the repertoire you love, all while maintaing a sense of improvisation and flexibility. I work with children of any age...including adults. :)

love teaching and keeping students interested. It's important to find titles that students can get behind and taking time to find pieces that are appropriate and interest students is my first priority.

I like to make sure that exercises are not looked at as a punishment. Breaking down how to apply a technique is as important as learning it.

Finally, I like to keep things light. I'm not going to motivate you by scaring you into practicing. There are other teachers that are good at that, but that's not my style. I'd rather work on finding out how to get you to be self motivated and actually enjoy what you're doing.

My specialties include jazz and pop styles.

I work with students, starting at whatever level they are, to learn music as well as to build a solid foundation of technique and theory so they can begin to understand musical ideas. Learning an instrument should be both fun and educational, so teaching piano for me is as much about sharing the joy of music as it is about teaching skills.
