Music Lessons in Union Mills, CA

Instruments: Piano

I utilize the lesson and workbooks as the backbone of the lessons. I use the metronome to develop rhythm and an appreciation for note values. Listening activities develop awareness of pitch and intervals. Flashcards, whiteboards and games reinforce all of these concepts. Additional motivational music from movie themes, popular songs, video game theme songs or from other music books are selected for the student to be working on in conjunction with their lesson books.

I have an interactive yet focused style of teaching. I can(but don't recommend) to use the Suzuki method. I feel that all aspects related to the instruments weigh much importance in teaching the student. However, with the Suzuki method, the student's primary focus is to learn pieces rapidly and climb the level of difficulty as fast as possible. This prevents him/her to fully understand and analyze the piece and lesson and it can also turn the student away from pursuing the instrument further.  Read More

By being creative and willing to explore, I help students stay interested and motivated, and have fun discovering and developing their talents. I assess the learning style, interests, and abilities of each student, and select methods and materials accordingly. I give theory instruction in the lesson, as appropriate, and music from method books and other sources. I provide time for exploring any original ideas, and any variety of genres the student is interested in, or that I think might be beneficial. Read More

I tailor my lessons to the student and their goals. I pull my methods and practices from experience and A Spectrum of Voices by Elizabeth Blades-Zeller. I also like to teach my students basic music theory to give them a better understanding of how music is structured and to deepen their overall musicianship. For that, I pull from Music in Theory and Practice Volume 1 by Bruce Benward and Marilyn Saker. Read More
