Piano Lessons in Village, CA

Instruments: Piano Violin

I try to relate the student's study of their instrument to their school work and what music they might be studying in school or encountering in their daily lives.  With adults it is important to discover what other music lessons they have had and what their experiences with music have been. During lessons I give much attention to detail and attempt to balance discipline with the student's enjoyment of the experience. Read More

I find that the most effective method with beginners is to color code things in a way that makes sense. I have stickers for this and a chart of what each means.

I typically will have them give me a song they want to learn and make it my goal to teach it to them by the end of the first six months. Read More
