Piano Lessons Larimer County, CO

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is based around having fun while learning important techniques. Some students will pick up a technique or a piece of music in one week, while another might struggle with the same piece for a whole month, and that's okay! I will never force a student to move on from something they feel less than great about, and with that ideology, I believe students gain the confidence that is so vital to the creative process of music making.

I practice various teacher's techniques for better understanding the material by the student. Great part of my lessons is having fun playing, singing and understanding the music. We practice different activities (playing together, practicing beats, singing, learning the keys, looking for similarities, engaging another arts, dancing, etc.).We do many interesting and interacive exercies and activities. We work on the sense of beat, better listening and understanding of music intonations. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar

I like to start off with all my students--whether adult or child--by finding what music they are passionate about. I then use that information to create a practice routing/repetoire that will drive each individual to practice and grow as a musician. I encourage my students to not only practice often, but practice corectly. After all, practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

Each lesson is designed specifically with the students’ abilities and challenges in mind as well. For young or beginning voice students, I like to begin with a solid foundation of intonation, body alignment, sight reading, and breath support using beginning level folk songs. The repertoire I choose is specific to each student's short-term goal and stylistic preference. For intermediate students, I focus on tone, coloration, vocal agility, diction, musicality, dynamics and performance anxiety. I am a firm believer in support and encouragement from family, and I insist that parents/guardians of high school students and younger stay informed with what their child is working on.
