Piano Lessons Iowa

Instruments: Piano, Clarinet

I have been teaching clarinet professionally for 5 years. I have taught students from beginners to advanced. I also have experience of teaching piano from beginners to intermediate level. My teaching experience is based on fundamental knowledge and musical expression. Seeing making the progress of a student makes me feel happy and gives me inspiration to reach more with the students. I encourage students being good on their instruments because it has role not only for students' development, but also they can be great musicians and performers who will travel around the world.

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Organ, Accordion, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Keyboard

I am not only a passionate and dedicated performer, but teacher as well. I love to share my knowledge and love of music with students of all ages. I have played music since the age of 4 on a variety of instruments, my main knowledge being in brass and piano. I try to do as many performance opportunities as I can so I can meet more musicians myself, connect with others, and find performance opportunities for my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Music

What I like to do is find out what my students know about music and then work from there. For instrumental I start with basics and play through scales to see how they play and how they can improve. For students that are younger or completely new to music, we would start with very basic general music terms and would become very close to the instrument of choice knowing the parts, how sound works with the instrument and how to properly play the instrument (close to the Suzuki method). my instructions are easy to follow no matter the age or ability level.

Instruments: Piano

At age 15 I began to give my first piano lessons, opening a studio in my home. During college I put giving piano lessons on hold so I could focus on improving my skills as a musician. I gave piano lessons in Spanish while I lived in Mexico, but now that Im back in the U.S. I am opening my studio once again. My students study not only piano technique and performance, but also music theory, and if desired, ear training and musical composition. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Ukulele, Recorder, French Horn, Tuba, Music, Keyboard

The most important parts of learning any instrument is reading music and posture/hand positions. On piano I typically use Faber's Piano Adventure series. I've found that this series teaches the fundamentals in a fun and easy way. On brass and woodwind instruments I would start a beginner with the Standard of Excellence series and supplement with the Rubank method books. With ukulele I like to start with Hal Leonard method books and then shift to Johnson's Ukulele Aerobics. Read More
