Piano Lessons Virginia

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students who are children, I usually use the Alfred Music Piano Methods series, and include music theory and ear training as a part of the curriculum. Once students have grasped the fundamentals, I will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for receital performances to encourage and motivate their learning. For adult students, I love to spend time to figure out the students musical interests, and use the types of music they enjoy to guide my instruction so the lessons can be engaging and fun. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar

Teaching all different skill levels, songs, styles, and genres has been fun for both my students and myself. I'm a touring musician, recording artist, and music producer, so teaching on the side has been a perfect addition to my free time. Read More
