Piano Lessons in Bay Village, MA

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Piccolo

I began teaching lessons after my freshman year of college in 2010 and have had students consistently since. I have worked with students from the very beginning stages to those at the college level. My students have successfully auditioned for CMEA festivals (Connecticut Music Educators Association) and NYSSMA festivals (New York State School Music Association). I believe that students learn in different ways. Due to this, my ability to easily relate to students and understand how they learn is one of my greatest assets. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ

Currently I am not teaching beginners. I start with whatever the books they have and experience and preference of music they have. I also bring copied music to introduce them to different styles of music to see what they would be interested in and what they need to work on technically and musically. I also ask them, "what is your goal to take piano lessons?" to set a personal goal for each student to make mile stones to achieve their goals. Read More

Fundamentals come from slow practice, and unfortunately, there is no true fun way of doing it. However, I pair technical work with listening assignments, so that the students actually see the point of fundamental training. Hanon is the one book that has stayed with me for two decades and I adhere to its various training regimens very closely. The book itself may be insufficient, but the auxiliary exercises I designed will improve the practice efficiency. Read More

It is a privileged for me to help students work toward goals that they are passionate about on a musical instrument. I love motivating them to succeed by keeping them engaged and the lessons fun, but productive. My approach to teaching woodwinds could be described as fun and energetic, but also very disciplined through technique and musicality. I am very meticulous and often do not let subtleties of opportunities sneak by. Read More

I am a passionate and dedicated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of piano. In 2009 I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History and a minor in Music from the University of Saint Joseph. At that time I was taking piano lessons at the University of Hartford and teaching my own students. After graduation, I worked at Music Makers Academy in Manchester, CT for a few years before continuing to teach private lessons. Read More
