Private Piano and Cello Lessons
Private Lessons
I specialize in piano lessons for children as young as 3 years old!
Yes, it's a great age to start private lessons, and I use the best teaching method and materials.
Private lessons are structured to focus students on developing the necessary technical skill through the enjoyment of music and the curation of a lifelong appreciation for music in all its forms. Our goal is to tailor individual lessons to each student's skill level and musical aspirations.
Starting from the age of 4 we use "Tales of a Musical Journey," a pedagogical series of piano workbooks that are written in a fairytale format to introduce and expand on all basic musical concepts for young children. "Piano Course for Older Beginners" from the same series for students ages 9 and up is following the same technical principals.
Occasionally I use pieces from the “Piano Safari“ and “Piano Pronto” series, methods that has successfully resonated with my teaching philosophy, as well as any music pieces from my personal music library.
During lessons we use interactive games and manipulatives to make each session fun and memorable!
The Private Lesson program will include two “Music Parties” (Winter and Spring) are included in the yearly tuition. Music Parties are one hour long, weekend get-togethers that include numerous music games as well as a low-key performance for all students who want to attend.
We host two Music Recitals each year.
For private cello lessons I start with total beginners at the age of 6 and up.
A properly sized cello is required for lessons, and I will be happy to assist you in finding a great beginner cello for your child. For private cello lesson I use Sassmannshaus series books that are great for early beginners.
