Piano Lessons For All Ages and Levels

Are you looking for high quality piano lessons for yourself or your child where you’ll learn quickly and efficiently? This is your opportunity to make it happen. As an avid piano instructor and Doctor of Music in piano performance, I’ve had remarkable success shaping and molding students to become not only exceptional pianists, but true artists. Sign up for a free lesson today, and keep reading below to learn more!

 

My piano studio is located in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have been teaching for over 10 years, and whether you are a beginner starting from scratch, or you're an accomplished pianist preparing for a competition or college audition, I will provide you with the tools for success in any environment.

 
 

In every lesson, I focus on the fundamentals of both performing music and mastering the piano as an instrument. This includes preparing repertoire from memory, sight reading, comprehensive understanding of theory, ear training, proper pianistic technique, and understanding the inherent differences in musical style (i.e. playing Beethoven versus Bach). Of course, I always make the lessons as fun and enjoyable as possible!

As a current board member of the Phoenix Music Teacher’s Association, I provide my students with full access to perform in PMTA festivals, competitions, ensembles, and more. Playing for an audience is an essential part of the musical experience, and I often recommend it to my students. As I am a performer myself, I teach how to maintain the right mindset leading up to and during a performance, which makes for very successful recitals in my studio.

I offer lessons that are 30, 45, and 60 minutes per week. If you are interested in setting up a free first lesson with me, contact me here. I will respond as quickly as I can (usually the same day).

Thank you very much!
