Piano Lessons in Ontario, CA

Instruments: Piano

I believe that it is imperative that the student has fun, while staying focused and learning as much through a lesson as possible. I play musical games and analogies to assist with the memorization of finger numbers, note names, and finger scales. I make sure that the student is focused and is enjoying the lesson and if not, I am able to change my method to fit my student's needs, all while maintaining professionalism and communication with the parent.

I'm a passionate, experienced singer/songwriter, guitarist, and performer looking to share my love of music. I started playing guitar at age six, and by the time I wrote my first song at age seven, I was hooked. While growing up outside of Philadelphia, I made a name for myself in the local music scene by performing at various East Coast venues including the legendary folk mecca, The Bitter End, and World Cafe Live.

Students must bring a notebook to keep track of their assignments for each lesson. Studentscan learn to perform in front ofothers, develop self confidence and have fun at the same time. Read More

I like to play audio/recordings for the students when possible, so that the student has an idea of the style, or the piece that we are studying.  This gives them something to reference to, but also gives them an aural aspect in their playing/practice habits. I also model for them constantly, so that they get more visual and aural reinforcement.  I sometimes give them short music concept/vocabulary assignments, such as learning the names of the notes on the staff, counting rhythms, meters, etc; all having to do with music theory and musical concepts that can be directly applied to their practical aspect of playing.

I like to challenge my students to be the best they can be as musicians. For the serious candidates, inspiration is a necessity! On top of lessons they are encouraged to grow by listening to other musicians learning from them. I value the teacher and student relationship. Most of the time I feel out what the client would do well with. (A lot of guidance or a lot of freedom vice versa) I see myself operate more as an accountability coach in my teaching. Read More

Piano Marvel and Alfred's piano methods are a great start for all ages as they have books that are geared toward both younger and older beginners. For guitar and bass there are various Hal Leonard books that work well; one thing that I try to do with guitar and bass students is encourage them to know what note they are playing and to eventually read music notation if they are curious and interested in it.
