Piano Lessons in Barrett, TX

Instruments: Piano

I use two pianos minimum for my lessons, along with recordings at multiple speeds in order to minimize the rhythmic mistakes so common in private lessons. Students are taught to make the connection between what they are playing and hearing, and what others are playing and hearing. Composition and Improvisation play an important roll in this connection, which is why I make it a part of every lesson. Theory is also taught, and testing is available for those interested, but it is only an option. Read More

Seeing the encouraged looks of my students always gives me joy to see that they are learning and even enjoying the music. Read More
