Piano Lessons in Berlin, MA

Instruments: Piano

I am a very warm and encouraging person, and I can see how hard people try, even if they don't sound their best yet. I have a growth mindset, which means that you don't have to be born with a natural ability to do this. Anyone can learn if they have a great teacher. I give a lot positive reinforcement, and I expect mistakes. Students don't take lessons if they already know how to play! Read More

Music has always been an important part of my life since I was a child. My parents exposed me to music at a very young age, so it was not a surprise that I chose music as my profession. I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with a BA in music, graduating with High Honors. Performance has been an integral part of my life, and I have given many solo recitals. Read More

I began teaching almost 15 years ago, starting with private lessons, and eventually branching out to singing and handbell choirs, inner-city after school programs, outreach programs for the homeless, and adult continuing learning in Boston, MA. I moved to NJ 3 years ago to be closer to my musical theatre career, and have enjoyed teaching private lessons to typical and special needs students of all ages. I pride myself on being able to teach for all sorts of needs and understandings, and helping every student find their own personal voice and place in music. Read More

I cater my teaching style to each student's age, skill level and personality. I have a patient, relaxed teaching style but I'm always ready and willing to push the student as far as they want to go, encouraging them to try their best. Lessons are usually organized into a section focused on technique and music theory followed by a period dedicated to playing songs together, polishing up repertoire and focusing on playing music in real time, together as an ensemble.

I try to get to know students personally and musically. My goal in teaching is to help students to pursue their goals whether as professional musicians or music lovers which are equally important to me. I dont ever set any fixed expectations and rules in teaching as they are all adjustable to me working with individuals who are all at different levels and share different values. I always talk to my students to figure out what they want to play and what they'd like to achieve by learning, and we would go from there by making customized plans. Read More

I was studying Electrical Engineering for two years at Tufts University before I decided to take a leap and follow my passion of music. It has been an incredible journey ever since!

No matter what the situation, I always love to play, create, and share music with others. Read More

Generally layed back low pressure lessons, but I will push a student if they let me. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music!

Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More
