piano
lessons

Because I want my students to get the most out of lessons, I start every curriculum with an interview of the student, to find out what their goals are. Whether wanting to play with high technical proficiency, compose their own songs, play in a band, improvise solos or just learn some songs to play for fun, I am confident that with a customized curriculum I can help you or child reach any and all of your music goals.

Generally piano lessons will be split into 3 parts: doing technique exercises, learning songs out of the book, and also learning songs that students want to learn outside of the book. This could be a theme song from a movie, video game, tv show or a song on the radio—anything the student has interest in. If the student has no interest we will just stick to songs from the book. For students doing only half hour lessons, all of the time may need to be spent on the songs out of the book as they get priority, 2nd priority is exercises, 3rd is songs outside of the book. But as I said I'm open to organizing the curriculum however you'd like. I've had adult students in the past that just want to play by ear without using a book which I'm happy to teach.
