My teaching style is taught with expectations. Although I aim to move at the student's learning pace, it is important to hold accountability on the student's behalf when we're not instruction. Consistent practice will be necessary for growth and I like to check in with students 2 days before next lessons to ensure the material has been understood and reviewed. From this point we can ensure progress. When a student does not review the content for the next lesson, it causes a sense of frustration and nervousness in the student's ability to comprehend the next lesson. Read More

I have spent 5 years honing beginning, intermediate and advanced lessons for my students in my home studio because I will always love teaching and will continue to grow with new and old students alike. - For beginning students I will always teach Syncopation and Stick Control, two excellent books to replace the bad habits with the best habits. When the student has a grasp on the fundamentals we work in poly-rhythmic exercises to strengthen limb independence, sense of time and relaxed playing. Read More

I am dedicated, persistent, and reliable. I am willing to learn and keep learning for the advancement of myself and my students. A well-rounded appreciation for music as well as critical listening and ear-training skills will be taught.  I also maintain a pretty fast paced lesson, enabling the student to have plenty of practice material, technique studies, and goals to meet. I will record the student's progress electronically so that the student may better understand and learn from their lessons. I will inspire my student’s, positively influencing and encouraging them along our journey of musical discovery.

I have taught both privately and in a classroom setting. In addition to my school performances, I have also played with many bands since the age of seventeen. In general, I have been teaching since 2004 and it is the best job in the world! I absolutely love teaching and I always apply an enthusiastic mindset when I am teaching. Some of my students who have taken lessons with me have moved on to join the school band, play at concerts and competitions, and write their own music! Testimonial from BM: One of my student's parents recently commented to me in an email the following about her daughter: "She LOVES piano and she ADORES you...everytime we leave, she comments, 'Adrienne is the best piano teacher ever'."

I have been professionally teaching music since my college days, as an music instructor for a community group at the Neenah Public Library and locally at San Juan College through the Community Learning Center, both in person and online. These environments allowed me to work with a wide range of students simultaneously, from elementary school age to retirees. Though I took time to address these students as a group, I spent a good amount of time working with students individually and tailoring my lessons to their specific needs. Read More
