Piano Lessons in Upper Providence, PA

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

Instruments: Piano Voice

I start each student with the Frances Clark Series. This is terrific in introducing all musical components to the learner. It starts off right away using ALL the notes on the piano. Black notes are used exclusively in some repertoire. Each building block is built upon the next and it just nicely adds , in a non-threatening way to what the student has learned before. I intersperse these books with other more seasonal books and the student and I build on that. Read More

Learning a musical instrument is very challenging and for most of us it doesn't come naturally. It's unfortunate when students become frustrated too quickly in the process and decide to quit out of frustration. In my style of teaching, it's very important that students feel some level of success no matter where they are in their own musical journey. Often I will perform lesson materials in unison along with students to help them if they are feeling anxious or uncomfortable. Read More

I have a master's degree in Piano performance and pedagogy and a bachelor's degree in music education. Read More

The first lesson is always a way for me to gage the level or ability and the goal for the student. I usually recommend a beginner book series for novices, but also use online sources and my own games and strategies. For older or more experienced students, I focus on specific repertoire they want to be learning (I provide a list of recommendations for them to listen to) as well as developing musical theory and technique, which is an important foundation for any musician.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am able to teach classical, rock, jazz, pop, gospel and RB at a beginner/intermediate level. As someone who grew up playing music because of an innate joy and love for it, I also always allow my students' musical interests and goals to dictate the material we cover. I then use whatever material it is to pull different musical theories or concepts from them and teach a larger lesson that can then be applied to any future songs. Read More
