Piano Lessons in Douglaston, NY

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo

Most importantly, we are all here to have fun and enjoy playing music.  I always encourage my students to take risks, have a laugh and ask questions.  I work to build the student's confidence in their playing, ability to practice well, ability to perform in public and ability to be comfortable making mistakes.  We all progress at various rates and progress at any level is an accomplishment that each student should be proud to achieve.  If a student or parent of a student expresses their interested to move forward in a serious capacity, I am more than happy to encourage such movement.

Instruments: Piano

I'm a 21-year-old pianist who's been playing since the age of 5. At a young age, I developed an intense love for music and started performing at country clubs, retirement homes, and for friends and family. I took lessons for 15 years from an amazing instructor who had decades of experience teaching a variety of styles and genres to a wide range of ages. While I mainly enjoy playing classical pieces from composers such as Chopin, Beethoven, and Liszt, I also enjoy playing broadway show tunes and modern music from artists such as Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Lana Del Rey.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I typically create my own lesson plans and try to cater them to the student. Most recently I've been working with trying to find a balance of teaching music theory and practical piano. When teaching theory, I often refer to Kotska's and Payne's "Tonal Harmony" for the order of the curriculum, and when it comes to exercises I will either write them out on the spot to demonstrate something to the student (I also feel it is important to SHOW the student how to MAKE music, ie. proper note notation, and symbol shape), or prepare them in advance if the content is more complex.
