Piano Lessons in Poway, CA

Instruments: Piano

I teach according to each student's pace of learning, tailoring lessons to their age.  Music theory games and other fun elements are incorporated into the lessons for the younger students.  Once the fundamentals are learned, teen students are encouraged to make some of their own music selections with my guidance and approval.

Instruments: Piano Flute

Out of college and newly married, I began teaching both piano and flute. When babies came along, I focused on them instead. But after they were grown, I went back into music headlong! I became involved in a lot of performing as well as a lot of teaching. I would estimate that my total teaching experience, with both flute and piano, is at least twenty years. I love sharing music with others, and I enjoy watching students develop and mature. Read More

As I mentioned before, my teaching style can best be described as easygoing, but precise and adapted to each students needs. I focus on the person trying to learn as much as on the learning itself. Yet, Im not demanding or harsh in my delivery or expectations. Rather than a standard, vanilla approach, I try learn my students personality, learning style, and sense of humor pretty quickly and work to adapt the facts and knowledge of music to each student as an individual human, not an appointment.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Double Bass Keyboard

For my beginning piano students, I like to start with Alfreds performance books and music theory to help assist the note and music reading. My cello students that are still in the beginning stages I like to have using the Suzuki books to help work towards more advanced music and skills. My voice students are all very different so I shape our lesson methods based on what style of singing theyre interested in, but we always begin working on proper breathing and learning solfege.

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

For basic students from 6 to 14 even intermediates they will start by reading or learning how to read sheet music classical and traditional music but I also throw in a jazz piece for students to learn how to make they're playing more jazzy and colorful. But before all that music reading the most important thing is to learn your major and minor scales because in all keys because if you don't know your major and minor you won't be able to play your favorite songs without reading.
