Piano Lessons in Hell S Kitchen, NY

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet Ukulele Oboe Bassoon English Horn Keyboard

I always begin a lesson with having the student play a song/piece of their choice, so that they can feel confident and comfortable in their own skin and in the lesson space. For wind instruments, long tones and scales will occur at the beginning of the lesson, and will be followed by study of an etude and/or piece of repertoire. I will ask the student to sing through the piece, so that the student can make a connection with their own voice and with the music, followed by the student reading through the piece with their instrument.

For a beginning student on guitar, I have them learning notes from a Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, or Alfred starter book. All these books are great, but I believe it depends on the individual student and how they learn. I also teach tab to beginners. I feel it is important to read tabs these days as well as notes. I also work with music theory. It is also important to know what you are doing, not just putting your fingers on the strings. Read More

Instruments: Piano

As a music teacher, my goal is to cultivate a warm and welcoming learning environment. I celebrate students' achievements to instill a sense of pride, setting goals based on their abilities and interests. I also encourage ongoing learning beyond our lessons by prompting students to explore music independently. Recognizing each student's preferences is integral to my teaching approach, whether it involves a specific music genre, a favorite artist, or a desire to create their own music. Read More
