I have been teaching for over 10 years. I teach privately full-time and run my own company. I personally hire other enthusiastic and experienced music teachers to work with me. I believe learning music should be fun. While it also takes hard work and dedication, a student must first enjoy music in order to continue and progress. My teachers and I incorporate well-known songs into lessons so that students can relate to what they are learning. We also use many of our own games and worksheets to keep students engaged at all times. We offer many different types of lessons including voice, piano, guitar, and songwriting.  ... View Profile

Piano lessons via zoom during covid are a great way to go. Why? I will teach you much more than just playing notes on a keyboard. You will learn to listen to music and gain a lifetime appreciation for music in any style. As a world class composer, you will gain insight that others cannot provide to you, whether as a young child or adult, including seniors. Remote is also a viable option, because with Zoom the lessons are recorded for free and you can refer back to the lessons as you build your lesson library. Many like this better than in person because of this feature. ... View Profile

With lessons geared toward learning favorite songs, students can develop the knowledge of their instrument, learn about chords, rhythm, melody, harmony and basic music theory principles. One-on-one instruction helps students deepen their understanding of their instrument while also preparing them for playing in a band with other musicians. Having toured with the rock band Degradée (Warner Bros), plus years of experience in the music industry, performing and producing bands, I have gained a vision of various aspects of music as an art form and how to broaden a student's vision of what is possible.

Erica discovered an easy way to read music - so easy, she patented it in 2006! The Patent Office nearly denied her the patent - because it seemed "TOO OBVIOUS!" Can you imagine learning to read music in one lesson, in a way that is based on reason, not memorization? Erica began teaching piano at age 9 years old.  She grew up in a family of educators in a house with 26 pianos that was also a music school, with as many as 50 children and teachers living together under one roof as an extended family. Erica teaches private and group piano lessons to children and adults. Her classes are classically-inspired, and can include theory, compositio ... View Profile
