Piano Lessons Kentucky

Instruments: Piano, Keyboard

I first started teaching piano when I was just 16 years old. I began with only one student and eventually gained more and more students through referral. I have now been teaching piano for 8 years and have significantly increased my clientele through word of mouth only before teaching with Musika. Much of my experience is in teaching young children who are absolute beginners, since most of my students have started with me having no previous musical experience. Read More

In college I began teaching drumlines over the summer for various high school programs. During that time is when I really began to fall in love with the teaching process and watching my students improve and grow as musicians. Shortly after I also began doing private guitar, rudimental percussion, and drum set lessons. I believe I really resonate with my students because although I got such a late start into music, through practice and hard work I was still able to be the musician I wanted to be. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Organ, Recorder

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Piano lessons OR Teaching Little fingers to play. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, the Thompson series are good as a base line. I also try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
