Piano Lessons Napa County, CA

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Music, Keyboard

My teaching centers on preparing students for successful musical performance. I do this by providing easily doable practice techniques and exercises that will advance their ability to perform the songs and pieces they are keen to learn and are practicing, as students are more likely to continue with music if they are having fun at it.

My teaching experience dates back to when I was a student at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts. While pursuing my own education I also had five private drum students ranging from the ages of 7-15. I am fortunate enough to have learned a great deal about teaching all different ages from my father, who has been a private guitar teacher for over 35 years. During my time at Berklee College of Music, I taught group clinics and while our tour with the Karen Lovely Band I mentored mentally handicapped music students in the Netherlands with a group called United By Music.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Accordion

I believe the most important gifts I can give my students are building blocks toward an enlightened life. Music for me is a vital part of this process of personal growth, self-awareness, enhancement of character, and love of the creative process. In my classroom, as well as in one-on-one coaching/mentoring sessions, I strive for a student-focused approach, guided by mutual respect, constant support and encouragement, establishment of developmental goals, and awareness of the value of discipline as intrinsic to the refinement of artistic abilities as well as the development of individual maturity.

Hello, I began teaching professionally 9 years ago in my home studio. I first started with guitar lessons. I am very passionate about aiding and supporting the growth of students.

Students are then able to learn classical, jazz, blues, rock, and popular music. Read More
