Piano Lessons in Lawrenceville, GA

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

My method for teaching is to customize an appropriate style depending upon the necessity of what the students needs are. Typically, for a novice-piano/keyboard student, I began with one or two Hanon drills to strengthen the third and fourth fingers; as they are usually the weaker fingers in beginners. From that point, the student may express stylistic desires, as prioritizing the students interest is a profound trait for ensuing retention. Read More

My methods to teaching beginners piano is very logical in that it the fundamentals I teach build upon each other. You can think of if like a pyramid. On the bottom of the pyramid we start with the notes of the piano. By the end of lesson one it is my goal for the student to know the name of every single note on the 88-key piano/keyboard. It's easier than it sounds and the students will find out that they can retain and learn more in one lesson than what they thought they could. Read More

For beginners, on piano I def reccomend Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Also, "My Favorite Solo Album," by Max Eckstein. Once progression and consistency has been developed I always encourage my students to share what they have learned in to a recital performance. I always make sure to teach what the student is interested in no matter what their ability is because with practice and a good student mentality my tudents achieve their goals quicker than usual.

I have been teaching piano to students age 4 to 60 for five years.  I enjoy not only teaching the rules and techniques of piano performance; I also try to impart a love of music and to make students realize that it adds a wonderful dimension to their lives that carries over to many other areas. One of my Ga. Tech/Atlanta students connects with his grandmother in France via Skype and plays for her. Read More

I've had many great opportunities including directing, designing and starring in musicals and plays (even Shakespeare!), in addition to teaching music to individual students and larger groups. I've even had multiple experiences as a rehearsal pianist and musical director for shows like Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening. My personal experience with music began back in middle school when I joined band as a trombonist, but after a while I felt I wanted to try something a bit more accessible. Read More
