Musicianship skills at the piano for adults: rhythm, pitch, and harmony foundations
If you are an adult who is new to playing the piano, taking the time to develop core musical skills in rhythm, pitch, and harmony is essential. It will make learning the piano more effortless and joyful! Sometimes we get so focused on learning to read music and playing what we see on the page that we forget to develop our skills in listening and understanding what we hear. When we develop a strong musical ear, we also develop our natural musicality and expressiveness.
In these lessons, you will learn short, simple folk songs at the piano and practise rhythm pitch and harmony through interactive exercises: chanting rhythms aloud, feeling the pulse of music in your body, singing melodies and harmonies. You will also learn to improvise using basic rhythm and pitch patterns. You will gradually build your skills to apply to more complex pieces at the piano. This is a fun and satisfying way to learn, knowing that you are improving your musicianship skills with every lesson.

About Me
I am a classical pianist and teacher. I help children and adults of all ages to develop foundational skills in music so they can become the pianists they want to be, and to express themselves freely at the piano. My experiences of learning the piano both as a child and as a returning adult have fueled my passion for understanding the most effective way to learn music, so we can play to our fullest ability, no matter our age.Education
Classical Music (Piano), Birka FolkhögkskolaPractice of Piano and Music Theory, Australian Music Examinations Board
Ongoing private piano study and research in music education
Experience / Qualifications
I completed a two-year classical music program with a specialisation in piano at Birka Folkhögskola, in Jämtland, Sweden, as well as an additional year focused on piano pedagogy.I previously completed examinations in piano and music theory through the Australian Music Examinations Board.
I've also taken over 14 months of private weekly lessons in the Taubman Approach to piano technique. This approach trains pianists to develop healthy playing habits so they can avoid (or recover) from injury and play with ease.
I actively research and participate in continuing professional training opportunities so that I can develop my skills and knowledge as a pianist and educator. My particular areas of interest are piano techniqe/healthy piano playing and musicianship skills.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.
Mary
Instrumental Teacher ( Piano, Guitar, Bass & Ukulele)Welcome to the music class!
Here, we are gonna discover the wonders of learning an instrument. From reading note letters, implementing a proper form to sight reading a piece, we are gonna learn in our own pace. If you're just learning music now and it feels like there's a lot to understand, don't worry we're gonna start from the basics. I will help you understand music and its elements.
With your dedication and my guidance, I'm positive that we will get a good result!

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessonsI am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.
I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.
The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.
I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

CLASSICAL, JAZZ/ MODERN PIANO AND RHYTHM COMPLEXITYThe older I get, the more I love. Especially during these times of immense ugliness and hate, wars and conflict, music- that's always been all about love - is the home I keep returning to. To me, mentoring someone is all about sharing the love for the instrument, thirst about the material, desire to explore new musical paths and respect for whatever happens whilst playing.
Not only we will explore technical paths and understand rhythm under a totally different light but also communicate through improvisation and modal principles. My goal is for you to love the instrument a bit more, music a bit more and as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said "Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself".
So let's explore together the painstakingly beautiful process of music through the inner child.

John
Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.
My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.
Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.
A bit about me:
Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Yuriy
Private Piano Lessons. An Individual approach for your goals!Hello!
My name is Yuriy, and I am glad to welcome you to my page! I am a playing pianist and a private teacher of piano, synthesizer and music theory.
Work experience
I have been working for over ten years with children from 4 years old and adults. Both with those who study for themselves, and with those who need help in development or professional preparation for exams at a children's music school, college, university.
I can help with:
* playing your favorite pieces
* learning various genres (classical, pop, pop, rock, jazz, boogie-woogie, etc.)
* mastering all types of piano techniques
* musical notation, music theory, solfeggio
* preparing for professional exams or performances
My approach
I use an individual approach in my work, first of all I start from what the student needs, I listen to him, I look for an approach to help him improve his playing level. I consider this to be key in the learning process.
The form of work, pieces, genres, the pace of learning, the depth of immersion, every question that arises - everything is decided individually and based on the benefit for your goals and your desires, and not in any particular lesson, but in each one.
The lessons are adapted to the age of the student. Children usually prefer a game approach: a minimum of theory and a maximum of play.
Education and achievements
I started my education at the Stasov Music School in Moscow (piano), and then continued at the Ippolitov-Ivanov Music and Pedagogical College (piano). I received a bachelor's degree from the Jerusalem Academy of Music (piano). I am a diploma winner of the Moscow Piano Competition of Romantic Music (2018), and also a multiple participant in various concerts with solo and ensemble programs.
I have more than 7 years of personal psychoanalytic work experience, which allows me to delve into the details of each student in detail.
Work online
Everything is the same as in person, due to detailed explanations and demonstration. I have several professional webcams for a view from different sides of my hands and seat (including from above), as well as several microphones so that you can hear and see both my voice and playing with high quality.
