Piano Lessons in Spring Mount, PA

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

I have been a highly effective piano instructor for over forty years. While having taught many pupils to play simply for their own enjoyment and satisfaction, I have to my credit a number of students who have been accepted as music majors at leading conservatories and universities and have embarked on their own performing careers. My students have also won many competitions and scholarships. The most important element in my teaching, however, is instilling a knowledge and love of music. Read More

This method gives you tons of options for teaching the pianoincluding a basic course and a prep course that have supplemental books that coordinate with them. Plus, one of the best things about the Alfred Piano Method is that they have a series thats packed with colorful graphics thats perfect for kids, and one thats created with older students in mind. Piano teachers who teach students of all ages often prefer the Alfred method, as someone in their mid-30s who is playing for a childs book may feel a bit awkward. Read More

Instruments: Piano Harp

I try to find out what my student's goals are and try to arrange lesson plans that will work steadily towards their goals.  I try to give them knowledge about interesting facts and tips each week of something that they may not consider.  For younger students I try to show them how to practice so that they can prepare themselves appropriately each week.  Also I encourage students to use a metronome.I try to emphasize becoming adept at note reading.

Songs are chosen depending on the student's area of interest, ranging from classical, opera, musical theater, pop and more.

I have a lot of experience performing in musical theater and music directing musicals and I specialize in coaching students for musical theater auditions and college auditions. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin

I began teaching lessons in college, but grew my studio while I was preparing for grad school auditions from 2010-2012. Most of my students at that time were beginner piano lessons and I love to teach young children. I also greatly enjoy teaching children with autism. I have had success in combining my music education and music therapy skills to help students accomplish musical goals while also addressing behavioral goals such as increasing verbal or nonverbal communication.

Instruments: Piano Flute

I have been playing and teaching professionally for 32 years. I perform approximately 50 gigs per month on piano and flute as a soloist or duo with my husband (who is a teacher and performer on classical guitar, also in the Musika family). I have enjoyed classical music since childhood and would be in awe of anyone with musical ability. I am happy to now be able to play pieces that I thought could only be played by people with exceptional ability. Read More
