Pam D. - Bloomington, IL 61701 (10.7 mi) - Piano Tutor - $29.00/hr.
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 - t

Rebecca B. - Decatur, IL 62526 (32.6 mi) - Piano Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I have played piano for 23 years, and have instructed over 45 students over the course of 9 years, ranging from the ages of 4 to 68 years old. I am a visceral teacher. I like to use illustrations whenever possible, videos, photographs, drawings... I like making connections to things that may seem unrelated - I think this strengthens neuro-pathways and thought processes. I also think that laughter stimulates learning, so I like students to feel at ease - I will make myself look dumb if it will make someone laugh and relax. I am a natural teacher - it's what I do when I'm not getting paid. I just like to share knowledge of what, why, when, where, and how. I like the process of learning, and it is a privilege to get to witness, or even positively influence, that process in someone else. I have been paid for my teaching skills for the past 9 years, in various settings, including piano i

David M - Washington, IL 61571 (20.1 mi) - Piano Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I enjoy teaching and coaching. As a chess coach I taught a group of 10-20 children. I have also helped coach some of my son's sports, but what I really enjoy is one-on-one teaching although my experience is mostly limited to teaching my third grade son who is very advanced and teaching accounting to a non-accountant assistant at work. I am patient and respectful and am able to get along well with everyone. I have a very strong level of education and experience in accounting and finance. I have a BS in Accountancy at the University of Illinois and passed the CPA as well. In addition to the insurance designations of FLMI, FFSI and AIAF, I also passed the Series 7, 27 and 63 exams and was a broker/dealer Financial and Operations Principal for several years. Most recently I was an Investment Accounting Manager for an insurance company. My teaching experience is fairly limited. Last y

Rachel W - Brimfield, IL 61517 (37.4 mi) - Piano Tutor - $33.50/hr.
I have a very strong background in writing. My experience includes my graduate research and thesis, news writing for a tv station, in addition to 6 years of writing for academia. I spent a semester in Pau, France and can tutor beginning to intermediate level students. I graduated with a 3.9 GPA in high school, college and graduate school. I don't believe in giving a student the answers to their questions. Rather, I think it is important to help them find the answers themselves--understanding the process will enable them to perform on their own. For example, rather than editing a student's paper, I will go through it line by line and have them help me find the errors.
