Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I specialize in teaching beginners to learn sight-reading quickly and well. Giving students music which is a bit of a challenge but not a difficult struggle keeps them motivated and wanting to continue their lessons because they are enjoyable. Having a degree in piano and music theory as well as long term experience gives me a much broader range of repertoire, depth of analysis of theory, and teaching methods to increase technique and artistry, I thoroughly enjoy watching piano students learn and grow in their love of music played on this wonderful instrument, and the pleasure they feel when performing for their families and friends.

I love working with Kathy. I am a trade school instructor and I can tell that the methods Kathy uses are very effective. I feel like the lessons that I get with her are individually tailored to me and not generic. She is fun to work with and I look forward to my weekly lesson! I recommend Kathy most enthusiastically!

Kathy has been a terrific teacher for my son. She's clearly able to differentiate her instruction for him depending on how the lesson is going - when he's losing focus, she brings him back gently, and when he needs to show her "his music" for a while, she pays close attention. She gives lots of positive reinforcement and knows that with a beginning learner, developing a love for the instrument is more important than following lock-step through a lesson. She's impressed us with her professionalism and with her genuine love for her students!

Kathy is a really good piano teacher. She's great with my lessons, and I have grown in skill as well as in sight reading and theory. Her experience, capability and love of piano is inspiring.

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    One should look for these criteria in an excellent piano teacher: a university degree in music and piano, a number of years of experience, good reviews, and one who loves people!

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    I wish every student and parent knew the importance of making a commitment to practice daily all aspects of the lesson assignment to make good progress on the piano and in musicianship.
