I tailor lessons to suit various levels, from kids to advanced adults, ensuring a personalized approach for each student. By incorporating a diverse curriculum covering classical, contemporary, and jazz piano, I keep the learning experience dynamic and enriching. I leverage a plethora of tech tools like chord & scale apps, virtual pianos, and DAWs to create an interactive and immersive learning environment both online and offline. With access to backing tracks, looping software, and ear training programs, students get hands-on experience and instant feedback, fostering growth and confidence. Whether it's refining piano techniques, exploring different genres, or delving into music theory, my methodology encourages students to express themselves authentically through music. Join me on this musical odyssey, where each keystroke unlocks the boundless potential of your musical journey!
