In my several years of teaching music, it has been my privilege and blessing to work in different situations with children and adults from different backgrounds and professions. A creative curriculum in classical, popular & jazz styles is offered, and approaches to efficient and disciplined keyboard practice styles are discussed at each lesson. Young learners receive a substantial technical and artistic foundation, while students at higher levels learn to refine their practice methods, explore their creative and aural capabilities, while advancing to greater heights their technical, improvisational and performance skills. Studies include a range of topics that cover areas of musical development such as:
- Piano performance, technique and interpretation
- Music theory, harmony, rhythm
- Aural development
- Jazz improvisation & theory
- Composition
Lessons are of an hour's duration, held weekly with assignments structured so as to make the learning process more of an enjoyable discovery of oneself and the art of music. Students are encouraged to work at accomplishing goals beyond what they would normally expect of themselves. Those wanting to beat the commute or living in a different city or abroad, can choose to have private online lessons via Skype.
