Piano lessons at a glance

My personal tutoring sessions allows me to approach the student(s) at an calm empathetic pace that focuses on progressive instruction, theory integration, enhancing sight reading and writing skills and rhythm adaptation. Every student has their own progression that will be established according to their perception. Reading and writing music is introduced and treated as a second language. All while playing and studying new music will be a persistent challenge along with adapting rhythm exercises via counting and clapping out loud. My teaching strengths contain interactive lessons that involve the student(s) to play along side the instructor and inspire an interest in challenging repertoire and a love for learning. My assigned work focuses on the lesson introduced in class and expends the curriculum to deeply challenge independence and progress.

For practice, Jacob was assigned these riffs and songs, with the instruction tailored to his preference for chords, aiming to enhance his skills and prepare him for soloing.
