Piano Lessons in Winthrop, MA

Instruments: Piano Voice

For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Instruments: Piano

My goal of teaching is to develop students so they can proceed to a professional study in music and enjoy the music for the rest of life. It is important that students should be trained in a professional way no matter what their career is going to be. I will not force any student to do anything, however, he or she will be strongly encouraged to practice as instructed. The lessons for young kids are always relaxing, and I will plan to put more or less content depending on their mood. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 24years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 11years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

To ensure all students can succeed, I provide a range of methods and assignments, including writing assignments, office hours, and exam review outlines. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My teaching style is me. I work one on one with each individual student as to their age, ability and how they learn. No one size fits all and each individual learns the same concept a bit differently. I make sure both piano and voice students understand fully what the lessons are about so they can practice at home and move forward, and understand. We have fun because I'm nuts...have a sense of humor. Read More
