Method
In a supportive and friendly learning environment, I’m here to help you achieve your musical goals using proven methods that truly work.
My approach as a piano teacher is to streamline the learning process by resolving technical obstacles while guiding you toward your musical goals at a natural and unforced pace.
Because every student is unique, each piano lesson is tailored to your individual strengths, challenges, and interests. Your musical preferences are incorporated into piano lessons because you are more likely to practice with enthusiasm the music that truly inspires you.
I’ve discovered that a wonderful way to enhance your musical journey is to access two levels at the same time.
Begin by dedicating some time to mastering a beautiful piece of music that genuinely inspires you. It might take around three months to perfect, but you'll feel so proud once you've accomplished it. Also, try writing down your personal wish-list of music pieces you’d love to play in the future. What's that one piece you've always dreamed of playing?
As you work on mastering a challenging piece, you’ll find it incredibly rewarding to explore a series of fun and easy-to-learn pieces that you can finish in just one or two weeks. These small victories not only boost your motivation but also speed up your progress and make the learning experience truly enjoyable.
I provide you with a solid foundation in keyboard technique and musicianship that empowers you to explore any kind of music.
Among the skills you gain;
Learning effective hand positions and fingering
Improved rhythmic control
Exploring a variety of repertoire
Sight-Reading
Phrasing and interpretation
Pedaling
My goal is to help you enjoy the journey of improving your music reading skills, strengthening your technique, and developing effective practice strategies that make you feel confident and independent as a musical artist. Most importantly, I want you to have fun discovering and growing along the way!
Igniting the imagination of students and providing you with the tools to realize your highest potential is the basis of my teaching.
