Piano Lessons in Chamberino, NM

Instruments: Piano Voice

It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded. While piano instruction is certainly central to each lesson, I also spend time teaching music theory and ear training. I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More

I try to make sure students can progress at their own pace based on their own skill level and experience with the instrument. I try to instill diligence patience and not being too hard on yourself as the top priorities. I want student and teacher interactions to be casual enjoyable and fun but at the same time serious with regards to the composer's intentions in the music. Like watering a flower it doesn't happen overnight the flower takes time to grow same with a piano student there needs to be incremental growth not overnight success. Read More

The learning atmosphere must be a safe one that is inclusive of all. The teacher must know the literature well, and be able to select pieces that meet the ability level of the student, but also push them to new limits (Holt Jordan, 2008). Who Should Learn Music study should be open to anyone who is willing to learn. Shinichi Suzukis philosophy on teaching music is found by many to be the most inspiring, and is the foundation of any strong philosophy of music. Read More
