Piano Lessons in East Brookfield, MA

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano lessons since I was in middle school and now have built 10 years of experience in piano instruction. Encouraging regular practice and a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize in all students; as it leads to steady, tangible progress visible to both the students and the parents. During my time at Central Michigan University, I was employed by the school's Community Music School where I would teach five students a semester through the university. Read More

I tend to emphasize theory as well as playing when Im teaching my students because learning music is more effective when supported by theory. Learning a musical indtrument requires a high level of concentration to learn and understand the music, and to memorize and perform it, so it can be helpful for students with other learnings or activities. Moreover the process of completing a piece is more difficult and time consuming than we think, but through this kind of practice, kids can develop their patience and discipline. Read More

I have been a music teacher since 1972, teaching classroom music, as well as being a Choir and Band Director, in Vernon, Glastonbury and West Hartford. Especially popular were my guitar and music of the theater classes. I have also directed various musicals on the Middle School level, such as You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Fiddler on the Roof, Babes in Arms, Oliver and others. At times, I even accompanied the shows on piano as I directed! Read More

Hi, I am a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, and have been teaching drums, piano, and percussion for over 12 years.  I focus on the fundamentals of teaching students how to read music and the rudiments, but try to balance this with just playing and having fun.  I want all of my students to have fun, and stay interested in playing and growing as a musician.

My style is ambitious and positive! I want my students to realize the gifts they have, and I will support them in their journey to playing and sharing music; whether it be for the elementary school play, or for a professional track...or simply for pure enjoyment and personal growth! I do not wish to limit student to a specific style. Rather, I am here to steer people towards healthy, strong, and technically sound singing, (through physically supported breathing and mindful approaches to tone quality and song choices!) as well as solid knowledge base and empowering piano skills, The potential is limitless!

I began teaching when I was a freshman in High School and I continued with a full-time load of students throughout all four years because of how much I loved it! Eventually adding some beginner adult students into my rotation of kids as well! I taught a few college level students throughout my college years whenever I could and took on summer students during my breaks! Now that I am done with college I am very excited to begin teaching students of all ages again and sharing my love and appreciation of music with them. Read More

I believe that every student is unique and deserves a unique approach from myself as a teacher, so I do not stick to regimented lesson plans. I work each week to plan out how best to convey the information needed, but if things need to change in the lesson, I adapt to provide what is needed for the student to still grow. There should be no lesson where the student walks away having learned nothing. Read More
