Piano Lessons Yolo 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 they are keen to learn, as they are more likely to continue with music if they are having fun when studying. I've also coached beginning songwriters with great results; one of my 10 year-old students wrote a peace-themed song that won multiple awards, including an award at the national level, in the PTA's Reflection competition.

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Electric Violin

Teaching is my passion. I started playing the violin at the age of 6 years old. Music gave me confidence in school and in my life. When I was in elementary school I found out that reading comprehension was difficult for me and so I had to get tutoring. I was very strong in music and that boosted my confidence in school. I have a lot of patience because of this but I also have high standards because I know what my students are capable of doing. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Cello

I like to incorporate 4 hands playing of fun pieces as a diversion from the solo playing plus I encourage my students to accompany me on the piano in a few 'cello pieces so that they acquire a good sense of ensemble playing. I have "musical get-togethers" where everyone plays for their family friends and other students and I will sometimes bring in a professional colleague where we will treat the students to a performance so they can see what happens when one becomes a "pro" - it is my way of saying, "good job everyone"!
