Piano Lessons with Deb

Lessons are designed to meet each individual's needs and desires. Instruction is relaxed, yet thorough and balanced presenting a variety of musical styles, and including music theory, sight-reading, ear training, and technique.

Beginning students and those seeking to improve their sight-reading skills are taught to recognize and play common tonal patterns or groups of notes as well as individual notes. (see Teaching Methods)

My strengths as a teacher include a solid preparation by studying with some of the best teachers in the country, the ability to communicate clearly and positively to any age student, patience, enthusiasm, flexibility, a love of people and especially children, and the love of music! I always try to select music that is a joy to practice and learn. I understand the challenges that adult students face since I am an adult student of the cello. I continue my own musical education by attending music workshops, lectures, concerts, and conferences.
