Grace - Your piano teacher
Hello! My name is Grace Robotti. I have been a piano tutor for over five years. I am a dedicated and passionate tutor and love to encourage my students to be the best piano players they can be. I always tell all my students that my goal is make them into even better piano players than I am. My most recent degree is an Associates in Arts Degree from Crown College. I graduated in 2023. For piano, I was tutored for eleven years and took theory for eight years. I was first tutored through the Faber & Faber series. In highschool, I studied the series John Thompson’s Modern Course for the Piano. After graduating, I have been teaching myself the art of making good arrangements for the piano. I have been teaching from my own studio for more than five years, and I am looking to expand to online teaching. I have taught from beginners to advanced and all ages. I have taught using the Faber series, Alfred’s Basic Piano Course, John Thompson’s Course, and whatever music my students wanted to learn. I tailor the lessons to what each student needs and wants. I can teach, technique, theory, performance, and writing arrangements. I’m so excited to embark on this musical journey with you and to help you grow to love music even more.
