In keyboard and piano lessons, students will begin by mastering basic skills such as proper hand positioning, note reading, and fundamental techniques. As students progress, they will dive deeper into music theory, scales, and chords to develop a stronger understanding of the instrument. I tailor each lesson to individual needs, ensuring that beginners feel comfortable and confident, while more advanced students will focus on refining their technique and performance skills. Expect to work on a mix of technical exercises, musical pieces, and sight-reading to build both your skill and musicality. We’ll also explore different genres and styles, from classical to contemporary, while ensuring that lessons remain enjoyable and engaging. You will develop not just technical proficiency, but also a passion for playing and a deeper connection with music.

In orchestral lessons, students will learn how to collaborate and play in an ensemble setting, focusing on how their individual parts contribute to the overall harmony of the group. They will develop skills in sight-reading, timing, listening, and blending with other instruments. I will emphasize the importance of rhythm, dynamics, and expression, helping students build strong technical foundations while fostering a deep understanding of the music. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, these lessons will offer opportunities for growth in both individual performance and ensemble collaboration. Students will also be encouraged to participate in group performances, allowing them to apply their skills in real-world settings.
