Nothing beats a failure but a try

8 Years of Experience giving piano lessons to both adults and children Recently Graduated with a Bachelors in piano performance Formal Experience Piano under Professor Andrea Imhoff Jazz and Composition under Professor Peter Lieuwen Theory under Dr. Marty Regan Sighting and Ear Training under Mariana Gariazzo Master Class with Juan María Solare
Classical techniques always serve as a great foundation. Improvisation, Gospel, Jazz, and etc can be taught once this is established. Not only to I encourage students to learn and play music that they enjoy, music theory is mandatory. This helps students not only to perform music, but to comprehend it

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is a very flexible style. I understand that everyone has a different method for learning and I have to adapt in order for the student to learn. Since I've mostly dealt with music for teaching experience, I'll refer to that area of expertise to illustrate my methods. I usually start off with ear training exercises because as a musician this is a must have skill. Then we go over basic aspects of music such as rhythm or basic chords. Eventually, after enough has been learned, I make the class more challenging and try to get the student to think in many different ways and allow them to be flexible with their minds as well.
I am a musician and teacher at heart and within the past two years I have found a way to combine those two passions into the most rewarding job I've ever had. I've been teaching music lessons, usually with guitar, for well over a year now and I love ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My passion for education blossomed while volunteering as a tutor with Somali refugee children in Pittsburgh, PA during college. I worked with families in their homes to develop English reading, writing, and speaking skills. After graduating with a B.A. in History and Political Science I joined Teach For America, where I taught first grade for two years and substitute taught pre-kindergarten through fifth grade for one year. A major focus while teaching first grade was developing literacy skills and instilling a love and enthusiasm for reading and writing in my students.
The most important thing about my teaching style is that I believe every child can achieve academic excellence and can be interested in learning. I believe that it is up to me, as a teacher or a tutor, to engage the student(s). A huge part of this is being very transparent about where the student starts, what our go ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping people to learn. Aside from knowledge base expertise, certain qualities exemplify a good tutor: patience and being a good listener. Understanding a student’s learning strategies is foundational and incorporates good listening qualities. A desirable outcome will then be more achievable for the student. I try to let my student, regardless of age/grade, not feel intimidated or unintelligent regarding a certain subject or problem. This subsequently allows him or her to open up and feel comfortable as we work together to solve the problem. I encourage students to focus and have a positive attitude. Hopefully, developing good, solid study habits will result, not only while being tutored, but thereafter at home and school.
I have a BS in Biological Sciences and an MS in Biology. I have also worked in the science research environment for many years, including providing inp ... read more
