My comments on tutoring Piano : I have played piano for over 40 years and have been a piano teacher for over 25 years. I studied classical piano but am comfortable with church music, broadway, pop, soft rock, and country and some jazz standards as well. I love teaching beginners and intermediate students and can take students to high level classical pieces. Some of my students started at the age of 3 and are still with me a few years later. I am consistent, and understanding, patient and warm. I use excellent methods and teach theory, technique,Hanon, performance, scales, and music for special occasions.
*Any child can learn. Find out what the gems are in each child and help to polish them. I like to work with private students. Reach the child where he is. Know their personality. Make them comfortable. Be punctual, be happy. Be consistent. Be open to new ideas without lowering your standards. Be about excellence. Help each child reach his/her potential in a POSITIVE and NURTURING way.
