Piano Lesson Information
My mission is to develop well-rounded musicians with the skills and confidence to reach their full music potential. I cultivate life-long passion for music through tailored, expert instruction in a supportive environment.

INSTRUCTION
Developing well-rounded musicians begins with instruction.
My weekly accelerated lab and private classes are designed with years of premium piano pedagogy research and experience behind them.
Students develop strong skills in:
-
Sight reading (note and rhythm reading)
-
Proper technique
-
Ear training & playing musically
-
Transposing and improvising
-
Theory
-
Performance
-
Ensemble playing (duets)

ENJOYMENT
Practicing is an essential part of learning the skill of piano playing. The piano students of today have a lot of things fighting for their attention! My goal is to train students to practice so that they become increasingly independent in their practicing habits. And eliminate stress for parents about practicing as well!
Accelerated Lab Curriculum:
-
Lasts for one hour each week
-
Dramatically improves students' sightreading skills (#1 important piano skill!)
-
Helps students move through their books faster
-
Includes proper training in proven practice techniques
-
Makes home practice about review and increasing speed instead of tedious learning
-
Includes off-bench lab time for theory and aural skills
-
Includes amazingly fun games and learning activities
-
Minimizes the need for parent-supervised practice at home

OPPORTUNITY
Performance opportunities help students learn how to set and reach goals, and also take them to a higher level of musicianship. Everyone enjoys something when they achieve accomplishment and mastery.
Some of the performance opportunities our students have include:
-
Quarterly group lessons ("Piano Parties")
-
Two to three yearly recitals
-
Festivals
-
Skills Day
-
Theory Mastery Day
-
Competitions
-
Recreational performances at retirement homes, public spaces, and more
