Piano Lessons (Beginner Guitar, Bass, and Ukulele)
Unlock your musical potential with personalized piano lessons tailored to your goals. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I offer expert instruction in classical, rock, and pop styles, as well as improvisation. My teaching approach focuses on:
•Sheet Music & Chart Reading: Learn to read and interpret traditional sheet music, chord charts, and lead sheets. Whether you’re playing from a classical score, a jazz chart, or a pop arrangement, you’ll develop the skills to understand and navigate different musical formats with confidence.
•Technique & Expression: Strong technique is the foundation of great playing. I focus on hand position, finger independance, agility, and control, helping you develop the precision and expressiveness needed for any style. You’ll also learn how to use phrasing, articulation, and dynamics to bring music to life.
•Ear Training & Improvisation: Becoming a great musician isn’t about reading music. Musicians also play by ear and think musically on the spot. My lessons include ear training exercises that sharpen your ability to recognize melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. Improvisation skills will give you the freedom to create your own music and adapt to any musical setting.
•Post-Secondary Preparation: For students looking to pursue music at a higher level, I offer guidance on audition preparation, repertoire selection, and musicianship skills. I have successfully helped students gain acceptance into university and college music programs.
•Introduction to Guitar, Bass and Ukulele: For beginner students looking to get started on Guitar, Bass, or Ukulele, I offer introduction lessons with materials to get you started and playing songs you love quickly.
With a focus on developing well-rounded musicians, my lessons provide the skills and confidence needed to play in any setting — whether on stage, in the studio, or at home.

My approach balances creativity with technical knowledge, helping you shape your musical ideas into well-structured, expressive works.
