Piano Lessons in Whiteland, IN

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

Teaching music forms a vital component of my life. I experience such joy when I practice and perform music, I desperately desire to share this with others. It’s beautiful to be a part of the musical growth of a student and I always feel a great responsibility when a new student starts an artistic relationship with me. Over twenty years of teaching I have learned that every student deserves personalized lessons based on their individual goals and potential, and as a mentor - I have an influence on them in more than musical ways.

My teaching philosophy has five basic elements that I always follow: differentiation, engagement, feedback, ownership, assessment and questioning. I teach students with different music levels, backboards, and ages. I try my best to start with what my student can do then extend within student's own context, so each of my students is very unique and special for me. And I always hope to cultivate my students, especially young students to become a better person through their music learning journey which is how I learned most from my music teachers. Read More

Piano - there are as many method books as there are different kinds of pianos! I use, but am not limited to, the following: Faber, Noona, Wunderkeys, Pianotown, Alfred, Helen Mier, Snell, and more. I like to start any student that comes to me with what they already have. For a young student - I will start with Faber as it is the easiest to understand for younger players. Other than that - I gear the lessons to each individual student. Read More
