Piano Lessons
Lessons for beginners will involve building foundational piano skills involving reading, ear training, and good piano technique. I have used a variety of piano training methods in the past, and am also familiar with creating lesson plans outside of a method book, for students who would like to learn through a non-traditional method. Beyond building a musical foundation, we will expand on that by developing our listening skills and analyzing music. Piano lessons are also valuable for vocalists who want to learn how to accompany themselves, and for other instrumentalists who would like to develop their musical knowledge.
