Piano Time!
Teaching piano is so much fun. I have taught beginning piano lessons for grades K-8 in Cambridge and Everett, MA. When I teach piano, I find it necessary to go over the basics such as note names of the keys, but in small groups I can also focus on physical development of fine motor skills. I also try to aim my teaching towards student interest, often taking requests from them and writing out simple notes to the melodies of their favorite songs - from classical and pop to rap instrumentals. If you have a request, I can generally give you the bare bones! Also, I find that once you have student interest, that is an easier bridge to learning skills such as how to read music and/or music theory.

Progress through Process Chamber Music Series
Taken at the pre-concert talk for students of the STEAM Saturday Piano classes at Prospect Hill Academy in Cambridge, MA. Spring 2018.
Program Notes from Chamber Music Performance
Students listened to the first movment of Mozart’s Wind Quintet in Eb Major, K. 452 - followed by a Q&A session with musicians.
Afterwards, students played songs of their choice on the piano for their peers and audience members.
The students seemed much more inspired and motivated to perform after hearing live music performed in their classroom.
