April C. Piano Studio

[ABOUT MY TEACHING ] I am a classical trained pianist and I have been teaching music since my 2nd year of college in the Boston Conservatory. Combining music appreciation/basic theory with piano playing is the signature of my piano lessons! I believe that piano lessons do not mean only practicing but more importantly, you really need to listen and enjoy the music. Therefore besides regular piano learning, students will be introduced well-known music repertoire with famous composers' stories(usually 5-10 minutes each lesson), which I think is the key to fall in love with music! My teaching subjects include Piano Playing, Music Theory, Ear Training(via games!), Music Appreciation for beginners and Harmony and Counterpoint, Form Analysis and Music History for advanced students.
