Piano Instructor: Manhattan School of Music/ Juilliard Pianist

From 59.83 £ /h

I’m a trained pianist from the Manhattan School of Music. During my training at MSM I took piano pedagogy and music theory pedagogy classes. I’ve been teaching since I was a teenager and I have taken students of all different levels and ability. I think proper hand position, aural training along with method books build a solid foundation for the emerging pianist. I tailor the method books to the students age and level.

As a beginner, we envelope the simple factors that go into making a beautiful piece, and find ways to feel confident within our selves and our playing skills. Starting from scratch and building the foundation of your playing is crucial during this era of learning, and with constant practice, time, and patience, we can overcome any obstacle in music together.

Students in intermediate/advanced classes will have a heavier workload and more commitment to their lessons as well as tasks provided afterwards such as to-do lists and practice logs. These students are to be prepared 100% of the time with preparing their repertoire prior to the lesson, and maintaining their practice log accordingly.
