Music is an integral  part of everyone’s lives- we use it for therapy, to express feelings, relieve stress and anxiety, and just for pure enjoyment! Studies have shown that playing an instrument, especially the piano, is extremely beneficial in multiple aspects- it increases brain development, eye-hand coordination, develops fine motor skills, and teaches important life virtues like dedication and patience.

 

Kids love music, but most kids hate music lessons! Why is that?

Piano lessons are often viewed as “homework” and just another task to be “checked off” the list. This is because sadly, many piano lesson programs are focused on just facts, with little to no room for exploring music creatively with appreciation and enjoyment.

When a teacher taps into a students inner creative and curious mind, it is amazing what wonderful things are produced! I aim to create a fun, relaxing, encouraging atmosphere in my studio so students feel free to express themselves through music creatively.

My students:

• Learn sight reading and how to keep a steady rhythm from day one so they are prepared for all kinds of music.
• Learn and review music theory  concepts through games and activities.
• Benefit from developing life skills shown by science through music instruction.
• Learn all their songs in the lesson, so they go home confident in knowing what to do, instead of feeling lost and confused.
• Have the opportunity to compose & create their own music
• Explore different genres of music; including pop,jazz & gospel to name a few

….all while having fun!

Lessons are available for children ages 6 and up.
