S O U N D M E TH O D S | Piano Lessons in Vancouver

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:

I believe that ANYONE can learn to play piano. All it takes is patience, practice and persistence! Learning to play an instrument is one of the most rewarding things that anyone can do for themselves, and it is never too late to start.

My piano lessons focus on building short and long term goal structures that make practicing a less intimidating task, and also much more rewarding. A part of each lesson is devoted to teaching my students how to practice properly, so that they should be able to make the most out of their time at home. Ineffective practicing can be very frustrating and hinder progress, especially for younger students.

Piano Lessons are always custom built to the needs, attention, and skill level of the student. Each student will have different areas of musical interest, and will have a different learning style. Part of my job is to assess that as early as possible, and to help motivate the student and coach them in the right direction.

I encourage an all-rounded instruction of music and thus often try to incorporate historical and theoretical knowledge of a piece into the lesson, especially for more advanced students.

I try to foster, above all, creativity and expression in music.
