Piano Lessons

I accept piano students at the age of six and older. All students are taught to:

• read music

• ​​​​​​write and publish their own music

• play scales and cadences

• understand music theory

• know music history

• identify intervals and music direction by ear (aural training)

• play by lead sheets

With an end goal of:

• acceptance into a college music program

• preparedness to try out for college scholarships

• preparedness to take the AP Music Theory test, which can allow students to skip the first year of college music courses.

Buddy lessons:

Siblings or friends taking piano lessons together are able to rotate through the learning stations, while the other student has a lesson at the grand piano with me.

#1- The Multimedia Station:

          Students play computer music games, annotate their compositions with music writing software, and print their music in a professional quality.

#2- The Game Station:

         Students play theory games with a variety of music manipulatives.

​

#3- The Silent Music Station:

​         Students use headphones on the micro grand digital piano to practice, warm up, explore new music, or continue working on composition.
