My Teaching Philosophy
My aim with all students is to have you playing music as soon as possible. This means playing music that you resonate with and enjoying that experience - this takes priority over everything else. At all ages and levels I encourage improvising, learning tunes, memorizing tunes, writing music, listening to music, appreciating music, singing, clapping and, of course, a solid foundation in piano technique, music theory and music reading.
Lessons for Young Children
Children demonstrate an innate musical ability from a very young age. They can sing, dance, clap and appreciate music before they're able to read it and understand music theory. I encourage this innate musical ability from the first lesson. At this age I prioritize learning songs (by rote and by ear), improvising, and playing music over music reading. We have as much fun at the piano as possible. We will look at the fundamentals of music reading, but again, play first.
Lessons for Older Children and Teenagers
At this age I begin encouraging students to discover what music they resonate with. The best way to do this is to listen to music - listen as much as possible! Again, We improvise, learn and memorize songs (by ear and by rote), and play. At this age the student develops their music reading ability fast and we work together to deepen their understanding of the theory behind music. However, the priority is still the same; play music.
I encourage students of this age to sit piano exams. Exams are not compulsory, but they provide the student with a clear goal to work towards.
Lessons for Adults
My lessons for adults are flexible. Some of my adult students are complete beginners, some have been playing the piano for decades. Adults already know what music they resonate with, so we let this guide the lessons. On day one we will establish what you wish to get out your piano lessons and work from there.
