My personalized tutoring approach for Grand Piano and Classical Piano lessons revolves around integrating music theory seamlessly into practical learning, ensuring a progressive skill development. With a focus on students aged 10 and above, including school, college, adult, and professional learners at all levels, I start by introducing sheet music reading and its correlation with piano keys. By gradually advancing from basic melodies to more complex accompaniments, I help students enhance their technique through a variety of exercises. In my interactive lessons, I leverage a range of tech tools like backing track libraries, chord and scale reference apps, DAWs, ear training software, metronome apps, and more to create an engaging and effective learning environment. These tools not only enhance the learning experience but also provide practical insights into music composition and performance. Whether online or offline, I ensure a well-rounded curriculum that nurtures both technical skills and theoretical understanding, empowering students to excel in their musical journey.
