Piano Lessons

Excellent musicianship on the piano is made up of foundational skills: the myriad techniques and pieces of knowledge that enable pianists to play in a beautiful, healthy, and creative manner. My main teaching repertoire is Western classical music, and I also have extensive experience in jazz, pop, musical theater, religious music, video game, and avant garde/experimental musics. I create an individually tailored education in music for each of my students. While most learn music by learning to read scores, I also excel at teaching technique and musicianship to students who learn through improvisation or by ear. With my two doctoral degrees in music and many years as a professional musician, I have vast resources of knowledge and experience to draw upon in helping my students reach their goals.

My students fall into four main categories:

• Those preparing for careers or conservatory auditions

• Adults who are highly advanced non-professionals

• Students grades 4-12 at any level who are excited about the piano, composing, and music in general

• Adults who are beginners or returning to the piano after many years away

Lessons are weekly at the same day and time and last for 60, 75, or 90 minutes depending on the needs of the student. I do not teach 30 or 45 minute lessons. Please read my studio policy for more information, including tuition rates.

If you are interested in studying with me or learning more, please contact me to schedule an initial trial lesson. I look forward to hearing from you!
