Piano Lessons Hamilton County, IN

Instruments: Piano, Voice

When meeting a new student, I try to make the student comfortable and at ease. Singing is such a personal thing, so feeling safe is important. I begin by asking about a students goals and getting to know them. I discuss breathing, technique and their musical backgroud so I can figure out how to best help that student. We are all at different stages of our musical journeys - no two students are the same. Read More

I have been teaching for 30 years. The exciting thing is that private music lessons provides an opportunity to get to know students on an individual level. This means that each lesson is unique, and each student has lessons tailored to them. Getting to know what makes a student tick or understand is a highlight of my day! They often laugh at me because I have to ask what they are doing, and that I don't know off the top of my head because there are so many different things my students are doing. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Electric Violin, Fiddle

I have always loved teaching music. I think that it is a very important aspect of being a musician. I feel the need to pass on everything that I have learned. I started studying classical music and shortly after beginning, started to branch out into other styles. Over the years, I have studied, country, Irish, and Cajun fiddling, Jazz, Rock, Improv, and kept up with my classical studies. I love being able to perform with different types of musicians and share my love of all music while continuing to learn more and more. Read More

While I am firm about daily practice to improve, most every one I work with finds me easygoing and accommodating. I have worked as a therapist with children and their families but the role of teacher is a different relationship. I do require students have a working instrument to practice daily and regularly. This can a piano or keyboard that is usable. Feel free to ask me about practice, because it is integral to the student's improvement. Read More

My approach to teaching is to start simple and break down topics and themes into smaller goals that help the student feel a sense of accomplishment and eager to learn more. By letting the student's inspiration lead the way I can successfully guide them to reach those goals that they might not have had before starting the lesson. Nothing is more important for me than for a student's own creative mind to further their own curiosity from learning how to play their favorite song, understand a musical concept or make their instrument sound how they feel.
