lessons are available in the following areas:

When I start out with a new student I like to see what kind of learning works best for them. Are they a visual, audio or tactical learner? from there I modify each lesson for each individual student. I make sure my lessons are a very positive experience with no criticism. I teach with charts, tablature and standard notation. My primary method of teaching is to have my students study from my own books, in addition to publications by Mel Bay and Hal Leonard. Read More

Hello! My name is Sophia Cannella and I am a music and theatre educator located in West Bloomfield, Michigan. A little about me, I am a voice, piano, guitar, ukulele, and acting teacher. I have over 5 years of experience teaching privately and teaching large classes, both online and in person. I have been trained as a singer since age 8, and have played instruments since I was 9. I am graduating in December 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre Performance from Oakland University. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Organ, Synthesizer, Keyboard
I rely on Alfred's Piano Library as it's proven to be a thorough approach to learning, exercising and memory. After some discussions about what resonates with the student, we will both explore options we can really dig into and present in concert format later. I will also introduce counter material for a better overall perspective of how things work, why they do and don't work (depending on the setting) and to better understand those same elements in different contexts.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar
I typically start with Czerny Etudes op. 599, op. 849, op. 299 and op. 740 and also Hanon Exercises and Scales for the technical part. I try to give students pieces from all four styles: baroque, classicism, romanticism and 20th century. From baroque I start with Bach Little Preludescanf Fugues and then move on to more complex stuff like Well-Tempered Clavier, from classical I give students Haydn and Mozart Sonatas, sometimes Beethoven Sonatas, for romantic period I give students Chopin Waltzes, Mazurkas, Nocturnes, Schubert Impromptus and other pieces, from the 20th century I give Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Debussy, Ravel and some jazz pieces.

I believe that in order to effectively teach, one must also do. My extensive performance background allows me to read a student to see what their goals might be and custom fit a curriculum around them. Sometimes a method book is the right way to go. Books such as the Alfred series and Hal Leonard often offer easily attainable goals for younger students. However, it is always important to listen to one's students to find out what music makes them passionate and make sure to weave that into the practice of good technique, and theory. Read More
