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.
