Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

From early to advanced learning, I have had my best experiences allowing students to find their passion in playing by using simple exercises and studies with harmony, melody and rhythm. Let's define musical terms and organize what you'd like to play and study. Music naturally improves concentration and sharpens memory. . . learn to accompany other instruments or play solo. I have experience programming rhythm and sounds on work station keyboards, specifically Yamaha, Casio, Roland and others. Read More

Every student learns in their own way, and I try to get that to happen. When the student really learns, they are excited and so am I! It is great to see students progress, and learn more and more. I try to make each lesson and each student an individual, not a mechanical, cookie-cutter process. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele

For beginning piano students, I like to use the Piano Adventure book series. They do a very good job at laying out the basics of piano technique in a fun and colorful way for young children. As the students progress through the series I will encourage them to begin learning pieces on their own and eventually preparing them for recital performances. For vocal students, I like to teach based on their ability and style preference. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you practice you will understand and move more quickly. Just like homework if you do you will understand. If you don't practice you are still learning, but it will take longer to achieve.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can your child count and know 1-5? Are they able to understand 1-5? Do they know alphabet? They do not need to be able to read to teach, but should be able to handle and listening directions. They need to be able to sit still for about 20 minutes and listen. Online lesson a caregiver or parent is very helpful and it works wonderful. I have work books to help the child stay interested. With voice does the child love to sing? It will build up her confidence and her ability. I teach students that have been doing amazing in thatre arts and also in school because they take choir.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Bastien love the chords Alfred for little ones their way of teaching music is great for little ones. It is so much fun and builds confidence Faber their creativity and able to teach children more concepts of dynamics.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
learning to be patient and discipline. It takes time to learn, but in every step learning a instrument is a great achievement. Every student can look back 6 months or a year and say I wasn't able to do this, but now I can. They need to look at their achievement Sometimes we busy and struggle or maybe even lose interest, but music is a life time gift. Sports are amazing, but most people won't be playing soccer in later life, but they can play an instrument their whole lives even a elderly lady 101 years old was playing so beautifully..

When will I start to see results?
you will see it right away. They will be playing small songs, but they are learning, coordination, reading music, value of music, fundamental music

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
mrs. cooper She was patient and creative.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
my parents chose the piano but so glad they did and i chose to take voice later

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I can write classical, children's musicals, contemporary music, and perform . I can also play for choirs and teach as a music director. I'm grateful for my parent's supporting me in lessons growing up.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
yes i had one child make the regional for voice in Las Vegas and she won. I have had many students be main or lead characters in musicals. I have had students go to college and get their music education in performance or education I have had students play elite clubs because of their love for music

More Information About Piano Lessons

  • Buying a Piano

    As students will need to practice the content taught during their lessons, they will need to invest in a digital piano or a keyboard. There are a number of different keyboards on the market, however we suggest looking to buy one with 61 keys or more. Keyboards with weighted action keys are most like that of a real piano, and are recommended. Keyboards are often a cheaper and more convenient option than digital pianos or real acoustic pianos, as they can be transported around and played using headphones. That said, if buying an acoustic piano is within your budget, it will provide the most satisfying learning experience.

  • Lessons in Your Home

    Musika offers piano lessons in the comfort of your home. Provided you have a piano or keyboard to practice on, you have everything needed to start learning straight from home! Taking lessons in the home is a great way to save time and money traveling to your piano lessons. There is no difference in the content of the lessons, whether they take place at home or in the studio. Home piano lessons are a particularly good option for younger students. It is a big advantage for young students to learn in a familiar, comfortable, and supportive environment.

  • What is Taught

    Students at different levels of their piano playing will require different aspects of piano playing to be covered during their lessons. Beginners typically start out learning the basics, intermediate players will be applying the foundations to more complex compositions, and advanced players will want to hone a few specific skills or styles. The basic things that beginner students will work on tend to be learning the notes of the piano, posture and playing technique, scales, and chords. At this level, students will learn simple scales and chords, such as major and minor chords, and start to put some of the basic techniques into practice via simple songs. Intermediate players will work on more exotic chords and playing such as diminished chords, 7th chords, and applying these things to more challenging compositions. Advanced players can improve sight reading, improvisational abilities, or work on genre specific techniques, such as Jazz or Blues. Throughout, students can develop their musical ear, reading, and theory.

...some interesting possibilities. I use a fingerstyle technique that I’ll describe below. But, the basic idea is that my thumb plays the bass note (as the left hand of the piano would) and my index, middle, and ring fingers pluck or brush the top part of the chord (as the right hand of the piano would).   Here’s the basic rhythmic feel that I aim for: It’s a 2-bar rhythm pattern.

...of potential problems that may make the instrument more difficult to play, if not temporarily unplayable. The pads will go bad even quicker if you don’t swab and then put your saxophone in its case. The ideal situation would be to let your saxophone air out for a little bit after you swab it, before putting it in its case. A common mistake I see is people using a pad-saver as a swab and then leaving it in the instrument when they pack it away. Do not leave your pad-saver or swab in the instrument. The purpose of using a swab is ... Read More

Nothing I say is going to make the first few months of playing an instrument easier for you, but I do recommend trying to be as patient and optimistic as possible. You will see good results if you engage in thorough, dedicated practice a few times a week. You’ll see even better results if you practice more than that. Once you’ve gotten over the hump, your skills and talents will begin to develop, and you’ll be able to focus ... Read More
