PRIVATE PIANO LESSONS are offered to students aged 4 through adult. I use a variety of teaching methods books to meet the individual needs of each student. I supplement the books with special music for holidays, events, competitions, giving students a well-rounded experience with many styles of music.I combine traditional teaching methods with technology to maximize student learning. We utilize iPad apps to improve theory, sight reading, ear training, and note identification skills. During lessons, I often record a student playing to help them recognize what their mistakes might be, and to show them their improvement over time. PARENT/CHILD LESSONS! Learn together, practice together, and explore music together! Some parents have learned to play piano as children and are able to play with their kids. Others discover piano with their kids. Either way makes this activity a memorable and uniting process! RECITALS & PIANO WORKSHOPS Traditional recitals are held twice a year for family and friends to enjoy. We have a Christmas piano recital in December and summer recital in June. We also hold piano workshops throughout the year; generally at the end of the month. These group lessons create opportunities for students to perform for others and have fun with their peers while we learn music theory/history, play music games, and more. ———————————————————————————————————————— RUSSIAN AND BELORUSSIAN LANGUAGES LESSONS FOR KIDS AND ADULTS I provide classes of Russian and Belorussian languages for Russian-speaking and English-speaking children. The purpose of these classes is to support the Russian language and culture in the English-speaking world. With a bit of practice these lessons teach children to read and write Russian fluently, enrich their vocabulary, and expand their horizons and develop their critical thinking skills. SUMMER CAMPS We hold music and Russian language camps each year during summer. ONLINE LESSONS I also offer one-on-one piano lessons through video chat services (such as FaceTime/Zoom/Skype). This is a great option for students of any age who cannot, for whatever reason, take in person lessons. |
