Piano Lessons in Green Valley, AZ

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe that a good teacher helps students teach themselves. Most of a students learning will be done on his or her own at home or in a practice room, so a teacher must give them the necessary tools to succeed, as well as constant support and encouragement. My goal is to teach healthy, grounded singing, no matter what musical style my students are interested in pursuing. I focus on balanced and centered body alignment, accurate body mapping, an easy breathing technique, and vibrancy/flexibility in sound. Read More

For beginning and intermediate lessons I use Faber Piano Adventures. Once a student shows the ability to work independently I move on to more standard teaching literature that follows the Royal Conservatory levels from preparatory to level 10. I use theory as a way to enhance lessons depending on the seriousness of the student. I also incorporate technique and scales as a supplement when a student shows motivation and adequate practice.

I tailor my teaching to each student's needs and interests. I emphasize overall musicianship in addition to learning to the fundamentals of the particular instrument, splitting most lessons 50/50 between fundamentals on the instrument and musicianship skills such as music theory, sight-reading, sight-singing, playing by ear, and composition or improvisation. For students in a school band or orchestra program, I will work with them on their band music and bring in additional material as enrichment. Read More
