Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: With my piano students, we will work through a course book while I also teach general music theory, posture, rhythm, and how to read and apply music to the piano. I love to teach all ages, including elementary kids from beginners to intermediate level. With my vocal students I assess where they are at and their musical taste and goals. I then tailor an individual lesson plan to help them improve their technique and performance. Each lesson we work on breathing, scales, placement and applying this to selected songs. For me, the most important thing is the student is learning musical abilities while having fun and gaining a deeper appreciation for the art of music. I find teaching my students the life long gift of music so very rewarding. I love the kick they get out of learning once they master a new skill.

Vanessa is wonderful. I needed some basic vocal training for my role as a lead singer in a tribute band, and I came to her with absolutely no singing experience. She was patient, skilled, and also pushed me when she knew I could handle the challenge. My band mates noticed the improvement in my voice just after a few sessions. Vanessa taught me basic music notation, and she also taught me how to identify my vocal range from head voice to chest voice to my 'belting' note. And she also taught me how to breathe properly so as to more effectively hold a note. Our sessions were 45 minutes long and I liked the routine she established, starting with stretching and breathing exercises, then moving on to scales and other vocal agility exercises, and then we'd end by working on a song, sometimes of her choosing based on my range and abilities, and sometimes of my choosing based on the songs my band and I wanted to work on. Lessons were held in her home in a private room, and she also recorded each session so at any time, I could go back and review and practice. Her fees are reasonable. Like any student-teacher relationship, the student will get what s/he puts into it. Vanessa is conservatory trained and is a professional musician/songwriter, so you know you're getting someone who's highly skilled and well-trained in music (piano, guitar) and vocals. I can't thank her enough for all she has taught me, and I would go back to her again for more intermediate/advanced training. Thank you, Vanessa!

I always wanted to learn how to play the piano but I felt self-conscious because of my age. Vanessa made me feel comfortable and tailored lessons to my level. I went from not knowing anything to being able to read a music sheet and play. She was very supportive and patient. I am very grateful for having her as my teacher :)

Vanessa has been and continues to be a wonderful piano teacher to my son. She is knowledgeable, endlessly patient and always positive and encouraging in her demeanor. My son has been taking lessons for over a year now and has come a long way since then! We love her and whole heartedly recommend her.

We ( my daughter) had our first piano lesson yesterday, I could not have asked for anything more than what we received. Vanessa was super patient, spoke in terms for my daughter to understand and explained step by step. My daughter left super excited and has already expressed how much she already likes her piano teacher!

Details: Younger than 6 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • What the teacher recommends • No, the student does not have either • 30 minutes • Willing to work around teacher's schedule • I travel to the piano teacher
