Piano

As a teacher, I am here to facilitate independent musicianship and consistent progress, as these are great indicators of whether students play for a year or a lifetime.  

I am of the belief that anyone can learn to play piano if they are curious about patterns, dedicated to practice, and willing to share their personal experience of the music.  

Songs can be both individually impactful and collectively engaging.  Together, our goal will be to convey the message and the character intended by the composer in a way that touches the audience with fresh perspective.

Beginner through Intermediate 

Students will become familiar with their instrument using the Piano Adventures Series.  Technique, notation, sightreading, theory, interpretation, and performance skills are sequentially introduced through these fun and integrated lessons.  

Advanced 

Players will move into the wider piano repertoire, understanding the work of major composers and learning to emulate the character of each time period.  Knowledge of scales and chords is increasingly emphasized, along with the technique necessary for agility and expression.  

All students 

Each and every student is encouraged to share their personal favourites from any genre, and will gradually be exposed to chording and lead sheets as they learn to play what they love.
