Piano Lessons For Everyone

I ask the student what they would like to learn and if they have an idea, I find appropriate music for them.  If they are beginners, I use one of the beginner series of books until about level three and then move into classical repertoire, Bach and Schumann, for example. Otherwise, I try to find rags or boogie or hymns or whatever the student prefers. I teach scales and chords to everyone and music theory is a part of most lessons. I encourage students to improvise and compose.

I have an MFA in Piano Performance and an MA in Composition from Mills College in Oakland, CA, as well as teaching certificates for New York and Kentucky.

i charge $40 for half hour lessons,

$60 for 45 minute lessons,

and $80 for hour lessons.

When I was fourteen one of my mother's friends asked me to teach her daughter. When I was in college I taught non majors and pre college division students. Then for years I improvised for modern dancers in NYC.  Since 2007 I have been teaching at home and really enjoying it.

young, old, some with learning or concentration issues, retirees who are returning to piano after many years...

find someone who lives near you so you can make each lesson easily.
