Piano lessons overview

In my role as a Piano tutor, I employ a dynamic teaching approach that blends sight reading, technical focus, music theory, expressive musicality, and ear training. I cater to a diverse range of students, including kids, beginners, intermediates, advanced players, and adults of all levels. By integrating tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps, I create an interactive and engaging learning environment both online and offline. I utilize curriculum resources that cater to a wide range of piano styles and genres. My methodology emphasizes personalized learning, practical applications of theory, and hands-on skill development. With a focus on technique and musical expression, I aim to inspire students to excel in their piano playing journey, building their confidence and proficiency in playing various types of pianos, from acoustic to digital keyboards.

I used to shy away from singing in front of others, but working with Connor in the GardenWalk Area changed that. his focused training on clarity, expression, and performance gave me the tools to sing solo for the first time

Thanks to Mr Connor bass lessons in Mott Haven, I finally understood what it means to lock in with the rhythm. My playing feels more connected, and making music with others has become incredibly rewarding.

The atmosphere Connor built makes piano lessons feel fun and inviting for children. My 6 year old is now excitedly describing arpeggios as if they are heroic characters. Families in Monkey Junction are truly fortunate to have such a positive influence in their community.
