Music Lessons in Lafayette Winona, VA

Instruments: Piano

I am a firm believer in having each student learn basic scales, starting with five finger patterns for beginners, since a solid grasp on this technique will aid them in learning any piece. For beginning younger students, I start teaching them from a method book that best suits their learning style. Since each student is different, one method does not fit every student, and I have taught Alfred's Premier Performer, Mayron Cole Piano Method, Hal Leonard, and more. Read More

For young learners, lessons are designed to be engaging and fun, incorporating creative exercises that spark curiosity without overwhelming them.

I absolutely love teaching others, however my golden strength is my ability to read my students from a lifelongs-experienced side, while fully understanding their difficulties to the most finite degree, no matter how frustrating and daunting the art of music can be- and teaching in the direction THEY wish. Creating music fueled by passion and the desire to express the otherwise ineffable emotions is the most powerfully freeing experience I think anyone can have, and it's my joy to enable others to enjoy it Read More

I began teaching privately during high school. I would teach local middle school students. I have taught privately off and on since then. I encourage regular practice at home on a consistent schedule. I work with whichever book the students classroom teacher uses and also supplement my own pieces. I encourage students to have a say in their own learning by picking music they like that will still be educational. Read More
