Piano lessons at a glance
In my piano tutoring sessions, I offer a unique blend of progressive instruction, technique-focused learning, and creative exploration. I cater to adult students at an advanced level, ensuring personalized attention in small groups of fewer than 10. By incorporating sight reading and ear training exercises, I enhance students' musical abilities and foster a deep understanding of piano playing. I utilize cutting-edge tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps to create an interactive and immersive learning environment. Students benefit from chord and scale reference apps for quick access to essential music theory concepts and backing track libraries to enhance their playing experience. Whether mastering jazz, classical, or player piano techniques, I tailor the curriculum to each student's goals and interests. From leveraging looping software for practice sessions to using ear training software for improved musicality, my methodology focuses on holistic skill development. By integrating PDF sheet music libraries and piano tuner apps into lessons, I ensure students have all the resources they need to excel. My approach not only prepares students for professional goals but also instills a lifelong love for playing the piano, making learning a rewarding and enriching experience.
