Piano Lessons in Benbrook, TX

Instruments: Piano

My method of teaching puts emphasis on the keyboard fundamentals that develop sound piano technique. I use a systematic approach in which the student progresses from their present level, whatever it may be, beginner, intermediate, or advanced, to their next level in a reasonable time. For students at the beginning or intermediate-beginning levels, I would choose from the Faber, Albert, Leonard, or Thompson piano methods.  I always give the student after each lesson a method of practice for the music/lessons required.

By giving piano lessons, all kinds of music knowledges should be taught. I prefer focus on both performance skills and the art/music knowledge in general. Homework is always needed because being able to play piano is the goal of the students.I will have my students practice etude, sonata/sonatina,polyphony pieces and modern pieces at the same time. Homework will be pieces selected from these 4 types. On top of that, I let my students know more about the background of the piece, study the composer, study the history and stories. Read More

I recently finished my studies to receive my Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree from Sam Houston State University.

I also provided live percussion music with the Creative Movement Program with the dance department at Sam Houston State University.

Utilization of Technology: I incorporate digital tools and software for learning and practicing piano, including interactive apps for sight-reading, theory drills, and virtual keyboard tutorials.
