ATTENTION GRABBING HEADLINE
Private Piano Lessons
Teaching Philosophy
My hope is to inspire each of my students to fall in love with music and engage with the piano. Music is another language that I will strive to help each student understand in their own individual way. Music is fun and I want to create an environment that highlights the passion and creativity of music while maintaining a safe space. My goal is for each student to go beyond the notes on the page and to feel ownership of their art and discover it from within.
Here’s some of what you can expect to learn:
-
Piano technique, scales, etudes, exercises

Body awareness, tension-free playing, body position
