Learning an instrument requires a certain level of vulnerability. A student needs to feel comfortable expressing themselves, making mistakes, and asking questions. For this reason, I am passionate about creating a positive learning environment for piano lessons.
My classes are FUN while remaining structured and professional.
I use humor, games, and mnemonic sayings to help a student read and remember music theory. I am classically trained and believe it important for students to explore all types/genres of music. This helps create well-rounded musicians who are capable and relaxed when playing with other musicians or by themselves.
Students are encouraged to ask for music they’d like to play and together we develop goals, practice accountability, and tailored lesson plans. My assigned music also includes technical exercises to help them grow into exceptional musicians with lifelong music appreciation and understanding of music history.
I have been teaching private piano lessons for 30 years and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and Theater from Susquehanna University where I received a scholarship and trained under Annie Alt in Vienna, Austria.
Lessons are taught in the comfort of your home and are a minimum of 45 minutes, though exceptions can be made for parents wishing to split time between siblings. Weekly lesson price includes all materials (no extra fees) and your rate is never increased. Students must be 5-18 years of age. References available upon request.
