PIANO LESSONS
EXPLORE THE WORLD OF PIANO!
Embark on a journey of musical excellence as you enter the world of piano in my studio. Here, each student discovers a path of growth guided by a progressive approach aimed at unlocking their full potential.
In the initial phases of learning, we embark on a musical adventure across the piano's entire range – from the soaring highs to the resonant lows. Through this exploration, you will master the art of playing simple melodies with exquisite beauty and artistic expression. As you progress, I delicately weave in bass line elements that harmonize seamlessly.
My teachings are built upon the foundation of cultivating a relaxed hand posture and fluid wrist movements. With tailored techniques, I ensure that every student develops a solid foundation for their musical endeavors.
As your confidence and proficiency grow, we delve into more advanced studies, embracing technical exercises that include scales and arpeggios. These exercises empower you to refine your skills and reach new heights of playing.
Within the realm of piano studies, you will be introduced to fundamental composition skills rooted in classical traditions. This holistic approach not only nurtures your pianistic abilities but also fosters a deeper understanding of musical creation.
Welcome to my piano community, where every keystroke brings you closer to unlocking your inner musical brilliance!

PERFORMANCES
During the year students have the opportunity to perform in two studio recitals. One will be held in January, and the other in early June. In addition, students will have the opportunity to partake in a performance for residents in a senior living community, where they will discover the important role that music plays in our lives as we age.
KEYBOARD CHALLENGE
Each week students work on theory and composition as part of their lessons. In April, students have the opportunity to take level assessments where they can earn medals for their accomplishments.
MATERIALS
Lesson Books and a three-ring binder are the primary materials required for instruction. From time to time, other supplementary materials will be used. All materials will be invoiced to the student/parent.
MISSED/MAKE-UP LESSONS: Lessons are held on a weekly basis. If you are unable to attend a lesson, I am happy to schedule a make-up lesson if I am notified at least 24 hours in advance. Please notify me as much in advance as possible of planned absences.
