Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Many studies consist of simply moving through pieces. I cover the musical and technical aspects that make them easy and musically expressive. I'm offering piano lessons to local people who really want to pursue the instrument in-depth and be able to play pieces they can enjoy. Involved in this mission is studying technique as well as musicality. I've worked with people preparing for college and performances as well as people just wanting to play for fun! I work with the student to tackle the many aspects involved in playing the piano efficiently and effectively, including safe and efficient movements, proper elements of music making and the best ways to bring the music out. Much of good piano playing is rooted in the underlying framework and this can produce amazing music! It's an honor to teach people to enjoy the piano as much as I do, and seeing them progress from maybe knowing nothing about the piano to playing full pieces is a great thing. Having them do so with a good understanding of music and with techniques to make the playing that much better is even more exciting.

Alex is a great instructor, knowledgeable in music theory and very attentive to my child's technique. He is patient with my young son and is a positive influence on his musical growth. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone with music aspirations.

Great teacher! My daughter picks up on the finger placement technique that Alex teaches well. Does a great job explaining building of scales and how they work in musical pieces, so she learned the a song and the scale at the same time so they are not boring and make sense. Helps my daughter learn along with her interest keeps the fun in it.

We are so pleased that we found Alex on Thumbtack! He has been an amazing piano instructor for my 13 year old son. It can difficult to find instructors who are both passionate about what they do and at the same time can effectively connect with your kids. We appreciate his professionalism, his punctuality and his great communication as well.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I have a flat rate for piano lessons. Most lessons are either an hour or half hour a week.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Not only do I teach the basic to the advanced aspects of piano, but I work together with the student to learn pieces and to develop good habits from the start. So many teachers do not emphasize the importance of good technique, which not only makes the music less powerful and enjoyable, but also can cause pain and discomfort down the road. I also work with music theory and the mechanics of playing to develop a well-rounded playing background!
