The piano is the gateway to understanding music. My innovative approach allows beginning students to successful play a song at their first lesson! The curriculum includes Faber's "Adventures in Singing" for children and "Alfred's Basic Piano Course" books for beginning Adults. This curriculum is a comprehensive system that includes theory, technique and artistry, and of course songs. This will strengthen the students understanding of the fundamentals of music. Lessons are supplemented with other music that the students are interested in. Lessons not only emphasize counting and rhythm, proper technique, but more importantly ear training, playing from chord charts, creativity, improvisation and music appreciation.
Learning music from musical exploration on their own terms builds a connection more deeply than just through notated repertoire.
Performance Opportunities
Throughout the year performance opportunities will be offered in the form of master classes and student recitals.
