Piano Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano, Guitar

My students learn a lot of valuable information right from the very first lessons.  We work towards building up a repertoire of songs they can really play from memory.  I teach a vast array of styles and genres. Everything from beginner Suzuki to Chopin pieces that are over 10 minutes long! I also enjoy songwriting, lyric writing, ear training, and studying harmony. I won't pass over the core subjects of sight reading, repertoire, and technique. Read More

For young beginners I start them in the Alfred Basics Books. I work to help students learn their notes quickly. I think that it is extremely important that students learn to read the notes from the staff and correlate staff reading with the notes on the piano.

I try to increase motivation to play the piano by asking them what their favorite songs are and then finding a way to arrange them to their level. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More
