My personalized approach to teaching piano lessons is dynamic and student-centered. I emphasize expressive musicality, empathy, creativity, and a strong focus on technique to nurture well-rounded musicians. With a specialization in coaching performances, I offer engaging lessons in various piano styles, including jazz, classical, and acoustic piano on grand or upright instruments. To enhance the learning experience, I leverage a range of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps. These tools create interactive online learning opportunities, making lessons immersive and effective. I follow a structured curriculum tailored to individual needs, incorporating backing tracks, chord & scale references, and ear training software to boost musical proficiency. My teaching caters to a small audience, allowing for personalized tutoring and focused guidance for children and beginners. Whether introducing young learners to the joy of music or helping novices develop a solid foundation, I adapt my approach to suit each student's pace and aspirations. By fostering a supportive and creative environment, I empower students to explore their musical potential and excel in their piano journey.

Before we discovered Bardiya in Fairmount, my adolescent son was having trouble sight reading. His usage of a hybrid digital piano with visual aids made everything much easier. Bardiya varied approach, which includes both classical and contemporary film themes, has revived my son's passion.

Bardiya recently guided Rebecca through a piano lesson, where they delved into musical notes, specifically whole, half, and quarter notes, and their respective counts within measures. Rebecca actively engaged by practicing drawing quarter notes and performing a song, paying close attention to dynamics such as piano and forte, and refining her finger placement. Her assignment for the week includes finishing quarter note exercises and practicing the song found on pages 14 and 15.
