I am a professional classically-trained pianist with over 20 years of experience. I am well-versed in piano performance up to the concert level, as well as piano pedagogy. I focus on developing both the proper natural technique necessary for piano performance as well as the musicianship necessary for artistry. I tailor my lessons to the student’s level and goals. Typically, we start with some form of warm ups, whether that be scales and/or technical exercises (Hanon, Liszt, Czerny), before moving into direct work on repertoire. Instead of mere pedagogical pieces, I select serious, interesting, and moving repertoire, carefully ensuring that it matches the technical abilities of the student while also building upon those abilities, and simultaneously unlocking all the musical qualities that make a good musician.

I prefer students who are at the intermediate to advanced level, already trained to, at least, basically read music and play simple pieces - I am an artist-teacher who is best at developing students to advanced playing. I will, however, accept beginners on special occasion, if they at least know how to read basic music, count note values, and know where keys are.

Details

1. Online rates are for one hour of instruction only. However, typically, there are no other costs associated. Generally, all we need is scores or sheet music and I provide that to the student free of charge, as nearly all repertoire is public domain. (I will provide scores or sheet music digitally; it is the students responsibility to either print it out or have it available digitally during lessons.)

2. If you would like to purchase your own scores or sheet music, separately from what I provide, you will cover the costs of your own purchases. This typically won’t be necessary unless you prefer to use a particular edition, or you wish to learn a piece that isn’t public domain.

3. Should you like to enter competitions, programs, or events that have a cost associated, you will be expected to cover that cost. Your lesson rates do not cover that.

4. For in-home trainings, travel fees are incorporated into the fee schedule. Please note that.
