Introduction: My name is Dean Picone, and I am a piano teacher, composer, and performer in Pasadena with a love for kids, teaching, mentoring, and music.
Having recently moved to Pasadena to begin graduate study at Fuller, I am looking for a few students who are interested in learning to love and understand music. Specifically, I teach how to read music and play by ear, with an emphasis on composition and music theory.
My students can expect positive and fun lessons that help an individual develop a passion for the instrument and a love of music. I also focus on each students unique talents while providing a clear idea of what is expected, what to practice, and how to improve.
Fees and time schedule include:
* I teach 45-minute lessons for $30.
* I am flexible with time, and am open most afternoons/evenings after 3:30 p.m.
For more information, examples of music that I have written, and pictures, see my website. (You will have to excuse some out-of-date information on the website. It needs to be updated to reflect that I now teach in the San Gabriel Valley.)
