Piano Lessons in Bedminster, NJ

Instruments: Piano

I emphasize both notes and rhythms in my teaching, and for both notes and rhythms, I strongly believe in the importance of being able to not only read them, but hear and feel them as well.

For all students I stress fluent music reading and a natural stress-free technique. For the early stages I have had good results with Faber's Piano Adventure series, finding that these progress at a reasonable pace and build reading skills logically. For technique I like FJH Music's Accelerando series. These short exercises have a big impact on the student's technique and reading, and bring maximum results in a short time. I also like to assign keyboard harmony drills of my own invention which help the student understand how chords are built and how they are linked within each key. Read More

As a living art form, my teaching will tailor to the student's unique desires and goals. Through open dialogue, I will set a realistic (and attainable) goals with each student, and select a most appropriate methods and repertory for the lessons.
