Piano Lessons Hamilton County, OH

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Keyboard

I tend to use the Faber Piano Adventure series as the basis for starting lessons. This series is very widely known and it is really one of the best methods available for teachers to use. I like it because two people are the authors and composers, a husband a wife team, and together they create interesting and enjoyable compositions that students of all ages like to play. They provide a wide variety of types of music from classical to blues to jazz and brance out into Christmas and Disney songs, all in different levels, so students can have a consistent series to grow and to never get bored!

Another method that I use in my lessons is deep listening. This includes finding many different ways to produce a variety of colors. I like to think that pianists’ fingers are “paint brushes” and there are million “painting techniques” that could be applied to paint sounds in different colors. I sometimes tell my students to try to visualize the shape and the color of the phrases or the sounds. I ask them to imagine the sound and hear it with the inner ears before they touch the piano, and then compare the sound they had in mind with the sound they produced with the piano. Read More

I began teaching in 1999 and have maintained a private studio since then while also working for various music schools and after-school music programs. I've worked with students from ages 5 to 75 and have found that students are very receptive to my energetic and engaging personality while being reassured by my ease of communication and patience. Music should be fun and enjoyable, not stressful, and I strive to create a relaxed atmosphere that is supportive and encouraging. Read More

I am an enthusiastic and compassionate instructor who loves to share my musical knowledge with those eager and willing to learn. I received a Bachelor's degree in Music Therapy from Cleveland State University in 2018 and became a board-certified music therapist in January of 2019. With this degree and profession comes the knowledge and skillset of numerous instruments, including voice (my primary instrument), guitar, piano, and ukulele. It is of great importance to me that students receive an individualized teaching approach that is unique to his or her learning style. Read More
