Lesson Approach
I teach lessons with fun in mind to keep the student engaged and enjoying the time learning.
Lessons are designed to go step by step and tailored to the student, whether child or adult.
We will work on applying techniques to your favorite songs. I travel to your home in Rockland County, NY.
Curriculum
For piano lessons, I use the Faber Piano Adventure books, because they offer a comprehensive approach to piano education, covering technique, theory, sight-reading, and performance skills.
The books coupled along with my teaching methods utilizing piano manipulatives such as the magnetic piano tiles and wooden rhythm tiles help to engage students. It also emphasizes creativity, expression, and fun and encourages students to develop their own musical voice.
If you would like, you can purchase the books for your child to have at home to practice.
