Enjoy learning in a large spacious studio

Piano is such a wondrous and
unique, instrument.
Coordinating both left and right hands takes diligent work,but once mastered, well worth
the student's patience.
I prefer to teach on digital Pianos, as we learn to incorporate the
student's knowledge of Piano on the computer. Students get to choice which sounding Piano
they prefer, as I have a library of thousands of different makes and styles of Piano
sounds.
Students learn and start to understand the difference in various sizes (Grand, Upright,
etc) and manufacture of Pianos, by the sounds they hear. Naturally a student practicing at
home on a
traditional Piano will appreciate it more.

"Teaching music is something I enjoy".
"I get great pleasure from passing along my
knowledge of music to my students".
For all students traditional Piano lessons working out of Method Books. Learning
proper hand positions, reading music on both music staffs. Students are taught the
language of music, in a friendly, and comfortable way.
Young students also have the opportunity to learn current hits songs that they know and
want to practice.
For younger students Learning to read on both treble
and bass clef is very important and a skill your child will always have. My piano lessons
are always geared at keeping the young student interested in learning.
For the adult students my approach is different from teaching
younger students. I like to start off with learning "contemporary piano"chords
and popular songs and/or oldies rock songs. There are many directions to take after the
initial songs and direction could go into scales, sight-reading, theory, etc. Depending on
the students goals. Also a good solid background for playing piano is being able to read
music notation, understanding
note durations, and learning about fingering
positions.
For the singing pianist:
My lessons are aimed at the individual in two ways; left hand bass notes runs, and right
hand chords. This method is perfect for the singer who wants to accompany themselves, or
in a band situation. I also teach left hand chords with right hand playing melodies (for
those who don't sing) in the traditional classical style of playing.
All techniques are aimed at the student's maximum potential in playing
Contemporary styles, and Classical Music.
Bonuses learning at Pamela's Studio
