Piano Lessons in Stamping Ground, KY

Instruments: Piano Voice

Nothing makes me feel better than seeing my students enjoy their time with the instrument! Therefore, I feel that it's necessary to fit my teaching style to the student's desire. I start the first lesson by asking them about the music that they listen to to get a sense of their music style. Furthermore, I am interested in the student's goals for their lessons. After asking these important question, I can contruct a personalized lesson plan based on the student's wants and needs. Read More

I have four years of experience tutoring both native and non-native speakers of English at the University of Kentucky Writing Center. While I have taught only a handful of music students for a short amount of time, I believe that my extensive performance background and rich technical foundation, combined with my years of teaching and tutoring student writers, makes me uniquely qualified to lead you on your vocal journey. I also have two years of experience playing piano and I am qualified to teach beginning piano students. Read More

In my experience, this can be very encouraging and inspirational for students, especially when they've been frustrated with their progress or are worried because they don't believe they can play at the level they want. Over the past 4 years of teaching students, I believe my greatest strength is inspiring students to be the best they can, and learning to disregard what others may think, because music is all about your enjoyment!

I began teaching piano my sophomore year of college. During my college career, I built up a studio of nearly 20 students, tutored college-level piano courses, and worked as a Teacher's Assistant in Sight Singing and Aural Training. Since then, I taught for two years at a Summer Music Conservatory in Texas, led week-long keyboard intensive seminars throughout Western Kenya, and most recently, taught at the nation's largest piano conservatory. I believe that lessons should be fun, fast-paced, and stimulate the whole child through a wide variety of songs and genres. Read More

My method of teaching is very detailed instruction. There are many books that tend to start with the assumption that you know something about music or that music is easy to just "pick up."

This means that starting out might be a bit slow, but the learning curve for future lessons is shortened and students eventually end up further ahead than if they skipped around. Read More
