Weekly Private Lessons
WHAT WILL I LEARN?Healthy piano technique is taught from the first lesson, and students are given many choices in the music repertoire they play, along with pieces assigned from their core method books. Like classical music? Great! Like making up your own songs? Creativity is embraced here. I give you lots of choices of music to play. If your technical ability at the piano is strong, your options are wide open.

Do you teach music theory?Yes! Music theory is the grammar of music, and along with keyboard skills (such as scales, chords, and arpeggios), I insist that students use a combination of different materials to make sure they become fluent in the language of music. These may include a theory book, SproutBeat® worksheets, and analog music theory games. We sometimes use iPad apps if a student is really into them. Here's a student playing Flashnote Derby:
Do you accept transfer students?Yes, and I have a winning track record of taking transfer students and helping them achieve success. If you are looking to make a change, then please reach out to me via my contact form.

Do you offer studio recitals?Of course! Twice per year, in November and May. Students perform the songs they love the most, and many also perform in piano ensembles--from duets and trios to works for 2 pianos, 8 hands. Recitals are not terrifying here at all. They're actually fun, and people look forward to the next recital.
