Teaching Beginning To Intermediate Piano Is My Specialty.. Been Playing & Performing For 35 years now!

Beginning Piano is just plain fun. I love to teach it and see my students learn, play and grow..

Piano is the basis of western music, the foundation for music theory, and a vital analogy for all other instruments. Every musician and singer benefits from studying piano, and every individual can find satisfaction in creating music from this beautiful instrument.

I emphasize physical relaxation technique, curiosity-driven exploration, and a comprehensive understanding of music through piano performance. It's ridiculously fun, and a challenge at every level. I specialize in ear training and songwriting/arranging, because that's the source of my own delight. Your enthusiasm is the fuel for progress, and I love finding ways to channel your interests into the love of piano.

My 3-camera technique allows you to see what's happening from a variety of angles, translating my actions over Zoom like you're in the room with me. Let's make time to play together.

A well structured and easy approach to learning the piano/keyboard.
Courses designed for beginners and intermediate players. I look forward to having a wonderful experience with my students.

I want to help you explore music on a deeper level rather than simply memorizing notes.
We would analyze song forms, chord progressions, and develop a diverse repertoire in Jazz, Latin, Classical or Pop music.
However, I do this with your interests in mind. Oftentimes, my students decide which songs they want to learn or even compose songs with my help.

Depending on how far you want to take it, we can work on recording and producing the song on music production software like Logic or Ableton. You would see the entire process of starting a song all the way to releasing it on streaming platforms.

If developing a solid understand of music sounds like something you want, shoot me a message and we can chat more!

Students will learn basic piano skills such as hand placement, note reading, note values, pedal use, major and minor scales, expressions, etudes, pieces, memory work, music history, performance techniques, and most of all to have fun learning the piano. I will expect students to have a minimum 67 note keyboard with sustain pedal, or a good piano to use for personal practice time. Each student should spend at least 20-30 minutes daily to start. They must purchase the recommended books.

I like to make piano lessons fun and interesting to students. I teach beginners at any age. We can start from "Hot Cross Buns" or "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," or any other beginner song you are interested in learning.

I have an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am very passionate about helping children to learn, especially in piano. I have been practicing piano for more than ten years and continue to play to improve and have more fun.

If you would like to learn a song, please let me know ahead of time so we can be prepared for the lesson. After purchasing lessons, you can send me the title, composer and/or the sheet music.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to piano lessons with you!
