Giselle - Your piano teacher
Hi, I'm Giselle, Your Next Piano Tutor! I have more than 5 years piano teaching experience, and a decade of piano playing. I've already handled multiple students from children ages 4 to adults ages 65. There's no age limit to learning as long as you have the persevering heart for it. My forte is classical piano and I play during music recitals, events, and for the church. Most of the time, I love soft and sad music. However, I am a flexible type of musician and can play any genre. My favorite classical musician is Debussy, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky. I love the Romantic era of music where music is used for expression of the emotions we cannot tell. I also love listening to Ghibli songs and anime music. I am a big fan of Frieren, Spy Family and Violet Evergarden. My other hobbies is running, hiking, writing, painting, and crocheting. I am a multi-hobbyist and an adventurer for life.
