Piano is one of my top subjects! Over 40 years teaching experience

Piano lessons should be fun, as well as instructive. Some quotes from some of my students: - “I can’t pass the piano without wanting to play this piece.” - “I’m gonna do that again because it was fun!” - “I’ll be eating lunch and all of a sudden I have a burning desire to play the piano”. - “My favorite day of the week is Piano Lesson Day. Piano is fun!” When a student works on repertoire that he or she really likes, that makes practicing more fun. I teach classical repertoire, as well as pop, show tunes, jazz, etc. Proper technique and a knowledge of theory is important in any genre, so weekly assignments feature technical exercises and written work in addition to repertoire. My students are encouraged to practice every day. Once a student gets into the habit, he or she can expect to truly enjoy the process, and that’s what it’s all about - the process. Of course we set goals ... read more

Piano is one of my top subjects!

Over 20 years of teaching experience as a school music teacher, private piano and theory instructor, and conductor for church and community choirs. I work to make every students meet her goals, thus, each lesson is designed to particular student. I accept students age of 5 up to 70. I guarantee each student to be able to play piano for less than six months. My lessons include also general musicianship as I teach about greatest composers, style, performers, and theory. I always aim for rich musical experience during the lesson. Often, I recommend CDs or DVDs for students, and advise on concert going.
I teach classical piano, so my students work on scales, arpeggios and etudes to quickly enhance their technique. Their repertoire is varied, but always include piece by one of the greatest composers of the past (Bach, Mozart, Brahms, to mention only a few) and a piece by contemporary co ... read more

After four years in university, I had travelled abroad, presented two recitals, accompanied numerous musicians, performed in 6 ensembles, been published, and received a Teaching Assistantship, along with receiving my Honors BA in German and Honors BM in Vocal Performance with a minor in Piano. I have extensive tutoring experience in Music, German, Writing Composition, and Public Speaking. My students have been honored state and nation-wide in music and speech. Currently, my interests have broadened into publications and I have a book on remixing education. I began working with children at the age of sixteen. I started my own business in Missouri, and am hoping to continue my work tutoring during my transition to Champaign/Urbana.
I feel that each child needs to feel appreciated and successful. My sessions include, of course, language, music, or speech, but I also work in philosophy ... read more

My pre-medical school coursework allowed me to gain conceptual and hands-on understanding in the areas of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and biology. In addition to my scientific training, I enrolled in the Honors program with a concentration on Western Civilization. The curriculum that the Honors program offered took me through the writings of Homer to the films of Roman Polanski. I have gained extensive experience writing research papers, laboratory reports, book reviews, memoirs, fictional stories, and analytical critiques. During the last three years I have volunteered my time tutoring international students English. My class sizes ranged from 20 students to one-on-one sessions.
I love teaching and working with children and adults alike. Everyone can learn; it is up to the teachers to find out how their students learn best. I was 14 years old when my yo ... read more
