Piano lessons overview

In my personalized tutoring approach, I blend engaging, expressive musicality with creative teaching methods, integrating theory, and sight-reading seamlessly into piano lessons. For students ranging from kids to adults at all levels, I utilize a curriculum tailored to each individual's needs and goals. I leverage various tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps to enhance online learning experiences. By incorporating backing track libraries and chord & scale reference apps, I create interactive lessons that foster a deep understanding of music. Through virtual recitals and performance opportunities, I nurture confidence and stage presence in my students. With a warm and encouraging demeanor, I provide a supportive environment where learners feel empowered to take musical risks, make mistakes, and ultimately excel as pianists. My passion for music shines through in every lesson, ensuring that learning with me is not just educational but also a memorable and enjoyable journey.
