What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

A super fun lesson tailored to each student! We can learn the songs you love, learn to improvise, and even learn to write your own songs, it's totally up to you. It's good to introduce technique o prevent bad habits, but this can be done creatively and in bite-sized chunks. Note and rhythm reading, music theory, ear training, and practice techniques can all be included depending on the student's interests and goals. What's essential is to find what brings the student joy and build from there. I'm excited to meet you!
