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.

During their piano lesson, Bardiya and Caitrin focused on technique exercises from pages 4 and 5 of their book, also dedicating time to the song 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' from the songbook. Caitrin's practice assignments include exercises C and D on page 5 of the technique book, to be played with a metronome between 75-90 bpm. She is also tasked with practicing page 50 of the songbook, using a metronome where each tick represents a half note, at a tempo of 50-75 bpm, and submitting pictures of her completed written exercises to Bardiya.

Bardiya's piano lesson with a student from Miami Dade College focused on technique exercises (Group Two A-D) with both hands and the song "Up to the Moon," which they were instructed to practice with a metronome. They discussed adjusting practice strategies and ran out of time to cover the grand staff. The student was assigned to continue practicing "Up to the Moon" with a metronome, gradually increasing the tempo, and to practice the Group Two exercises with both hands together.
