Piano Lessons Michigan

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Keyboard, Electric Guitar

I encourage lots of individuality and fun. Music is a way to express yourself. I'm never teaching for the purpose for the student to become better than others to win awards and perform at recitals. Self expression and achieving personal goals to me are far more important than winning competitions and on-paper accomplishments. I'll always tailor my lessons for each individual student, and I'll try my best to keep my lessons within the student's area of interest. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Flute, Piccolo

More than anything else, teaching music is what I love to do! It is a blessing to be apart of someone's musical development. In 1992, I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Instrumental Performance (Flute/Piano). Then in 1996, I graduated with a Master of Music degree from University of Massachusetts-Lowell with also in Instrumental Performance. I've taught private flute and piano lessons at: Andrews University, Lake Michigan College, Crescendo Academy of Music, The Citadel, Nashua Community Music School, and currently, my home studio in Plainwell.

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching in the States for about 9 years. It is a pleasure for me to hear my students progress from their first steps as timid, first-time players to confident and more musically mature young musicians. My students participate in a monthly MDML recital and an annual music test organized by the MMTA. I believe performing for others is a good way for students to grow into their roles as musicians and to acquire a sense of accomplishment. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Music

I am passionate about my students and about music. From the outset of working with music students I emphasize the importance of good posture and handling of their instrument, good breathing technique, good embouchure, and regular practice in order to develop strong embouchure and technique and knowledge of their instrument. I love teaching! Whether it is music, dance, math, or anything else I may find myself teaching, I give my all to my students. Read More

My style of teaching is holistic in that I strive to be aware of the students needs before, during and after the lesson. Read More
