Piano lessons overview

I specialize in teaching piano to a diverse audience of over 200 students, including kids, beginners, intermediates, and advanced players. My teaching style is characterized by creative and expressive musicality, offering progressive instruction that focuses on engaging students through sight-reading practices. To enhance the learning experience, I leverage various tech tools such as backing track libraries, chord & scale reference apps, and virtual piano apps. These tools not only aid in practice but also make learning interactive and fun. I follow a comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide range of piano styles including jazz, classical, and pop music. By incorporating digital resources like DAWs, ear training software, and metronome apps, I create a dynamic and immersive environment for students to develop their piano skills. Whether it's using looping software for practice or PDF sheet music libraries for repertoire, my approach is tailored to cater to individual learning styles and musical preferences.

My daughter's Singing Tutor in the North Beach is a gem. Norwood demonstrates remarkable patience in her teaching methods. What truly wonderful is how she incorporates familiar tunes that my 10 year old already enjoys. Our home is now filled with my daughter's happy singing.

In Del Paso Heights it has been a game changer for us with her relaxed and steady approach. My teen once dreaded piano lessons but Norwood opened the door to jazz chords and improvisation on her grand piano and now my son is even composing her own music.
