Piano lessons overview
In my personalized tutoring approach, I blend progressive instruction with technique-focused coaching to deliver engaging and effective piano lessons. By integrating theory, sight reading, and performance coaching, I ensure a comprehensive learning experience. I leverage tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps to create interactive lessons that enhance understanding and skill development. My tailored curriculum caters specifically to piano for adults, focusing on classical, jazz, and various piano types. Through positive reinforcement and a focus on building strong fundamentals, I empower students to become independent learners, fostering self-reliance and problem-solving skills. I strive to keep students motivated by celebrating their progress and achievements, boosting their confidence to tackle more challenging pieces with enthusiasm. If a student faces challenges, I meticulously review and address areas of confusion, ensuring a thorough grasp of concepts.
