Lessons for Beginners

Since most cities have implemented a "stay home" policy to combat the spread of Covid-19, I am offering you piano lessons on line. When you sign up for online lessons, you will create a user name and password which will allow you to log in to the site, access all the required materials necessary to complete the course. All online courses are given using Zoom so it is recommended you have a webcam and microphone. The instructors screen is configured to allow you to see the instructor, the keyboard and the notes being played.

My goal for my students is for them to love music and enjoy having music in their lives. As a teacher, I enjoy watching my students not only become better musicians but grow as individuals. Gaining confidence, learning commitment, and having fun are just a few benefits that come from music lessons. I am an extremely patient and encouraging teacher who is willing to work with each student to meet their goals. I want my piano students to gain life skills they will use the rest of their lives.

I love children and am patient, creative and intuitive. If your child is willing to put in at least twenty minutes of practicing time, 5 -6 days a week, I will be patient, fun and excited every time they come in for a lesson - always tailoring their musical experience to their individual needs. I also have experience teaching adults, intermediate and advanced levels. Hope to see you soon.

*** Lesson Details ***
I will teach you or your child to be comfortable and playful with the instrument, make practicing fun. Using both creative composition approaches to the piano as well as beginning of sight reading, hand position and theory. We will work through songs in John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course books,, and the Bastien Piano Basics Piano for adults. The student and I will have honest communication about practice and I will do everything I can to make sure practice is approachable, productive, fun, and easy to get done with for the day.

*** Specialties ***
Most importantly - make sure a beginner is comfortable with the instrument! We work on exercises to strengthen up, hand position, fingering and reading. I feel that practicing the major scale correctly is the most important part of learning how to play the piano. You must first learn how to get from one key to the other EASILY.
