I've been teaching piano for 10 years. My students perform at the annual spring recital in May. I use the Faber books for my beginner and intermediate players.

Experienced piano teacher of eight years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of piano skills. I typically use Alfred's Basic books and also have the following tools available to use during lessons: flash cards and a metronome. I work with my students on sight reading as well as ear training so they can become better players over time. I also provide my students with homework sheet that explains what we have been focusing on, what they have achieved, and what is the expectations for next lesson.

My classes consist on learning the basics of playing piano. We will go through some music theory to be able to read and understand a piano score; with simple exercises, students will practice playing with one hand at a time, and then playing with both hands at the same time. We will also practice and learn how to play different chords and their inversions. Scales are also very important to play very well from the beginning. With these components, you will get a solid start to keep improving and playing better and better each time.

The piano is a wonderful instrument with an incredibly vestile range of abilities. The piano has the potential to produce some really beautiful and inspiring music but there is also a lot to know. In piano lessons, I'll provide highly valuable instruction and guidance on the key aspects of playing the piano: interpreting a piece of music accurately and with artistic expressiveness, improving technical ability, learning methods for efficient fingering and effective pedaling technique, developing greater control over emphasis, dynamics, and timing, and even strategies for physically improving and safely caring for your hands, fingers, and forearms. If you are a beginner and aren't sure what all those things mean or if they would apply to you, that's fine too. I also offer introductory instruction on how to read music and get started playing the piano.

My teaching philosophy is to meet the student where they are at and develop incremental, progressive strategies for meeting the unique

I earned my B.A. in music at Hood College and have spent the last fifteen years teaching general music classes as well as private voice and piano. I am also a preschool teacher in Montgomery County and my strengths lie in working with young children. If you are looking for a beginning piano teacher for your child, I would love to meet you! I use the Alfred series and generally have students work out of the technique, repertoire and theory books. Lessons are designed to be a half hour, and I understand the importance of changing activities frequently and keeping lessons fun and engaging when working with young children.

I am a music education student at Shenandoah Conservatory. Experienced teacher of 8 years, beginner to intermediate level. I have taught students from 5-75 years old. I have a passion for music that really allows me to connect with the student and find how to connect with their hunger for learning. I have brought students from playing "Twinkle twinkle little star" to Clementi Sonatina's by the time they are 12. I try to make lessons fun and exciting as well as a space that is meant for hard work and dedication.
