I am a motivated music professional with experience in piano performance and teaching. I am interested in teaching piano to various students of all ages and abilities. I have a BA in piano performance from Mills College in 2007. I have been learning the piano since I was six years old with various teachers from all over the world. I have a great love of music of all types from Classical to Pop to Rock. I have two teaching studios for your convenience and I can offer online lessons as well! I hope you will enjoy your lessons with me!
I have teaching experience since I started working on my BA in piano. I have taught adults as well as children of all levels. I have taught in music schools as well as in my private studio. My students are encouraged to practice because they love playing the piano not because they have to! I use instructional books as well as fun games to teach important concepts. I also ask students what pieces or genre of music they would like to play so that we can work on that as well. I strive for a fun lesson every time.
For beginning students (children) I use the Piano Adventures books by Faber also with a notespeller and possibly some Hanon exercises. For beginner adults I use the adult beginner Piano Adventures, notespeller, and Hanon. So for any student there is a combination of music theory, finger exercises, and learning how to play and enjoy piano music. Once my student becomes more advanced I will encourage them to play short classical pieces such as a waltz or prelude, or a piece of music of their choice.
My teaching style can be adjusted to each particular student. Some students take piano lessons for relaxation, others are wanting to pursue a career in music. I can teach for both styles or even a combination of both styles. I set goals for each week that is provided in the piano homework or play work that I assign. I find this works very well. I have a very calm approach to my teaching and do not force things to work or happen. I like to share my love of music to my students and encourage them to visit local concerts as well.
