Piano Lessons in Devault, PA

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

I describe my teaching style as casual in that I tend to encourage creativity along with traditional classical music teaching. Also, I avoid repetitive drill and favor teaching derivation such as intervals as the basis of all scales and chords instead of memorizing scales. I integrate chords and chard variations as appropriate with the execution of a song. To emphasize the fun part of the lesson, which is song, the student participates in the song selections as well as the type of music which is taught. Read More

I am a piano/music teacher with an extensive experience of over 35 years.  I have been teaching many students over the years in my studio, in their homes, at Temple University – 30 years, in many Music Schools and Conservatories.  My students are children 6 and older and adults of every age.  I am always tailoring my teaching according to the needs and potentials of my students.  I motivate my students and encourage them to practice consistently and play.  I try to convey to my students my love and passion for music and the piano in order for them to be inspired and love the music that they practice and play.  I encourage my students to play in the recitals I organize and enter competitions in order to achieve results as well as enjoyment.

I love the learning process and to see students progress through the stages of learning an instrument. I taught myself to play the piano before I started formal lessons. I began playing the saxophone at the same time I took up the piano. I entered my undergraduate program in 1992, majoring in music education with the saxophone and piano as my principle instruments. During my studies at the University of South Alabama, a new program was started in MIDI and I attended an extra year to master digital audio. Read More

I encourage the student to perform their music once it has been learned, either in a student recital, or simply for their parents, friends, even pets! Performance is the best way to ensure that the music will stay with the student for quite a while. Teaching has been perhaps the most important part of my life. It is certainly what I spend most of my time with and I truly love it. Read More
