Piano Lessons Hendricks County, IN

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Similar to what is written above I prefer an approach that is rooted in the fundamentals. It is my belief that learning these well can serve a student later on when the music starts to become more difficult. Most students I have that have learned in this way tend to not get overwhelmed and are able to transition to higher levels of playing more easily. One of my favorite quotes is "The advanced level is mastery of the basics" which I have found to be true. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I have extensive teaching experience in both public and private institutions as well as private studios. In my years of teaching, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages - preschool through adult - and I enjoy the challenge of tailoring lessons to meet students where they are. I find that consistency, high expectations, and respect are the key to helping my students succeed. But most importantly, I want my students to know that I care about them! Read More

Instruments: Piano

For children who are beginning students of piano, I prefer to use Bastien or Alfred curriculum. These are available on Amazon or most music stores. For adults I prefer to use "The older beginner piano course." If you have a curriculum already, I am more than happy to review it to see if it could be used also. I am open to families with multiple children or adults of any age. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Keyboard

I have a very free teaching style. I am very organized and structured when it comes to teaching and my lessons, however I want my students to have fun, and feel that they can come to me with any request's that they have for their lessons. One thing I enjoyed about receiving lessons when I was younger, was how my teachers would teach me the basics and let me go from there and tell them what songs or techniques I wanted to learn next!

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Music, Keyboard

I like to begin all my students on a combination of technical studies and enjoyable/familiar melodies. This will help them learn the fundamentals in a rewarding way, because as they progress they will continue to learn new songs week after week. This is much more rewarding than checking of series of technical exercises. Additionally it is important to have both small goals to achieve each week and large goals to achieve over a number of months, so my students can be aware and proud of their progress over time.
