Piano Lessons in Eatontown, NJ

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

I always like to follow my students curiosities and guide them to learning foundational techniques through material they are passionate about. Cookie-cutter books and songs are not one-size-fits-all and I truly believe in an individualized lesson plan for all my students. I incorporate theory, historical knowledge, ear training, and music reading into my lessons at all ages and levels. I additionally have extensive experience in childcare and early childhood education so I am knowledgable on keeping young learners engaged and excited in lessons! Read More

I began my musical journey in East Orange, New Jersey, where Lauryn Hill and Whitney Houston also got their starts. In 2016, I earned my B.A in Music at Duke University, then went on to complete my M.M. in Jazz Studies in 2020 with focus in Vocal Jazz Performance at North Carolina Central University. At NCCU, I was a member of the award-winning Vocal Jazz ensemble that made it to the grammy ballot for best vocal jazz album in 2017. Read More

Hi! I'm Kurt, singer-songwriter/composer, a multi-instrumentalist, and a patient and natural teacher. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years, piano for almost 20. I release music as "The Broadest Blue"; I am in the process of recording my second album--the first (plus two singles) are available on all streaming platforms. I've played every little bar venue in the East Village, directing a complex musical outfit built to play music with brass and string parts (all music, lyrics, and arrangements written by me).

It's all about the student's interests. I first gauge what styles they are interested in performing, and then implement the proper methods of teaching those styles. Depending on their ability level, I will simultaneously implement necessary techniques while generating the repertoire so that when it comes time for a recital, they will be ready. Lessons will generally begin with warmups, followed by choosing pieces to perform or developing pieces that have already been chosen. Read More

For all students no matter if they are children or adults or if they are beginner students or advanced students I would tell all my students to get a large manuscript book and a metronome. Also they should get different musical instructional books. I will teach all my students how to read and write music. Very important. I will teach all my students all different styles of music and the many different ways or many different techniques in how to play music with their individual musical instrument that the student will take up.

Effective music education is both developmentally and culturally appropriate: By working with the student to understand their interests, I hope to provide them with an experience that will enrich their musical and social life outside of the work we do together. Through infancy, I believe Music Learning Theory is effective for developing musical and linguistic skills. If a student in toddlerhood/childhood shows that they have a preferred way to express themselves musically, I will tailor lessons around the Kodaly (voice), Orff (instrumental), or Dalcroze (dance) philosophies.
