I love teaching piano.\u00a0I come to your home so you can play on your instrument and not bother with travel time. I help fit it into your busy schedule. Over the past 20 years, I&#8217;ve taught students ages 5 &#8211; 60+, including special needs children. I teach because I want to, not because I need to. As a result, I&#8217;ve seen all kinds of successes in my students&#8217; playing abilities. I have four children of my own who all learned piano and went onto other instruments in high school orchestra and band &#8211; including marching and jazz band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Teaching Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> I work through a proven individualized curriculum that builds a solid music foundation. I don&#8217;t hold recitals or any other high-pressure performances. Instead, we build a foundation, and we work toward your own personal goals &#8211; classical, your favorite songs from the radio, or anything else. Playing the piano should be enjoyable and last a lifetime. It\u2019s also an excellent avenue for children to develop maturity and responsibility. If a child is old enough to play, then they are mature enough to take responsibility. This is their lesson. It&#8217;s\u00a0not the parents&#8217; job to practice with them. I also don&#8217;t believe in teaching a child before they are ready to learn \u2013 I\u2019ll help you decide what and when is right for you and your child and never waste their time or your money. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Rebecca.
