Piano Lessons
“My focus is on positive encouragement, applied wisdom, and honest, constructive feedback. I like to let students determine their own path in a broad sense; as a teacher, I’m here to give you the tools and methods. I designed a methodology that compartmentalizes your skillset into four distinct ‘pillars:’ Theory, Listening, Improvisation, and Performance. This allows an hour-long session to be broken up into 1, 2, 3, or 4 sections evenly, optimizing flexibility and purpose.”
Theory
Deepening knowledge and application of key signatures, chord symbols, time signatures, scales, song forms, modes, voicings, and rhythms
Listening
Appreciating, internalizing, and analyzing the work of the masters of past and present
Improvisation
Time-feel, communication, comping, motivic development, melodic phrasing, chord-scale relationships, use of space
Performance
Gradually learning pieces of non-improvised music that are both challenging and exciting for the student in order to increase proficiency and musicianship
