Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Due to Covid-19, all lessons are occurring online. I use multiple technologies to ensure that our lessons are efficient and effective. Before starting lessons, we will discuss these procedures and I will help teach you how to easily navigate through each process. Group zoom sessions are also available for those who wish to participate. I place an emphasis on playing in front of others often. To accomplish this, all students have the opportunity to participate in a group class once per month to play in front of other children in a stress free environment. Music is a language; it is one of the many ways that human beings communicate and connect with one another. Composers writing music hide secrets and meaning that waits to be unlocked by musicians. Developing improvisation and performance skills allow students to express their own ideas and emotions. In my own musical journey, I have learned that performing music well is only possible once the fundamentals of music construction is truly understood. That is why I guide my students toward music fluency through knowledge of music theory, as well as the history that surrounded its formulation. I also believe that I do not teach piano or voice; I teach music as a holistic practice. Piano students will use their voice in lessons to hone their attention to melodic interests. We examine the physics of harmony and how to exploit it to create richer sonorities. We study the evolution of piano construction and its relation to changing attitudes in composition. We all approach music in our own individual ways, and our performance is influenced by the collection of our past experiences. My teaching varies to reflect the individuality and interests of my students. It is in this way that we gain a full and profound appreciation for authentic music that will last for the rest of our lives.

Marc teaches my two children, 7 and 9, once a week. I cannot say enough about how great he has been for them. He is very patient and effective, the kids love to practice and they are consistently improving. Flexible schedule, reasonable rates. A+

Marc works with each student patiently at his/her level, and does a good job motivating them to advance while holding them accountable for their own progress

Marc is such a delight to work with. He is an excellent piano teacher, patient with the kids, teaches them not only how to play but the music theory and historical context. He is super organized and helpful when it comes to scheduling too. So glad we found Marc!

Excellent teacher who teaches music very holistically: not just how to play the piano but ear-training, theory, improvising, music history, and more. My son has made huge gains in just two years. Highly recommend.
