Music Lessons in Heath, OH

Instruments: Piano

Learning an instrument brings to attention one of the strange paradoxes of life: something that brings us great joy can also sometimes bring us great frustration! (My Well-Tempered Clavier book with a tear down its front cover captures this point nicely.) Playing the piano is incredibly rewarding and fun, but learning it can sometimes be discouraging. So, I seek to operate as encourager, visionary, and coach on top of teacher. Read More

I have been teaching private lessons part time for almost a year. In that short time, my studio has grown to include seven students of varying skill levels. I believe that regular practice is important, and that practicing should be fun. I try to combine classical and modern music when teaching, as both are important to the development of a well rounded musician. I love teaching because I feel as though I learn as much from my students as they do from me, and nothing is more rewarding than helping foster someone else's love for music! Read More

I start all students with getting a firm grasps of the basics of tone production and air support. I do this through long tone exercises as well as scale work to start learning more notes on the instrument.

I then start to tailor instruction to goals the student has, whether that be for a school ensemble, a solo performance, or other musical goal such has playing in a gigging band. Read More
