Piano Lessons

Kind, supportive online piano lessons for kids, teens, and adults.

Piano is at the heart of my teaching. In lessons, I help students build solid technique, musical understanding, and confidence at the keyboard — while also making space for curiosity, creativity, and the music they genuinely enjoy.

I use a consistent, level-appropriate curriculum alongside songs and pieces that matter to the student. Each lesson blends technique and musicianship in a way that feels focused but never rigid.

What we focus on

In piano lessons, we work on:

• reading music and developing a strong sense of rhythm
• healthy hand position, coordination, and technique
• ear training and musical awareness
• musical independence and confidence at the keyboard

I meet with students weekly online, using multiple camera angles so I can clearly see hands, posture, and the keyboard.

How lessons feel

Lessons feel personal and connected — much like an in-person lesson, without the commute.

What you need

All that’s needed is:

• a piano or keyboard
• a phone or tablet on a stand so I can clearly see the keys and the student

Most families find that learning from home makes lessons easier to fit into real life, while still feeling focused, supportive, and deeply effective.

If you’re looking for piano lessons that are thoughtful, encouraging, and grounded in real musical growth, this is a steady place to begin.

Piano PLUS Voice Lessons

Play and sing together in a supportive, confidence-building way.

Piano + Voice lessons include everything we work on in a piano lesson, with the added joy and challenge of singing. I help students learn to play and sing at the same time using music they genuinely enjoy — from method books to favorite songs.

This work builds:

• musical confidence
• coordination between voice, hands, and ears
• a deeper, more embodied connection to the music

Healthy, expressive vocal work

In each lesson, I guide students toward gentle, age-appropriate vocal habits, including posture, breathing, and simple vocal exercises. Singing is always connected to real music, not isolated drills, so it feels expressive and meaningful.

Younger students often focus on:

• matching pitch
• using their singing voice comfortably

Older students may work with:

• warm-ups and vocal patterns
• support for range, tone, and control

Singing while playing

Students choose songs they love to sing, and we learn how to accompany those songs on the piano. This might include playing chords, reading sheet music, or writing out a favorite tune so it fits their voice and hands.

Singing while playing is a powerful skill. We build it step by step, at a pace that feels encouraging rather than overwhelming.

Setup and comfort

Because singing uses the whole body, students may stand for part of the lesson. An adjustable phone or tablet stand and, when available, a mirror can be helpful for observing posture and alignment. I also recommend having water nearby — hydration makes a real difference for the voice.

If you’re curious about singing while you play, Piano + Voice lessons are a warm, supportive way to explore it.

Piano PLUS Composition Lessons

Explore songwriting or composition with steady, encouraging guidance.

Composing your own music is a powerful and deeply personal way to connect with sound. In Piano + Composition lessons, I help students learn how music is built — and how to shape their own ideas with clarity, confidence, and care.

This option is a great fit for students who are curious about creating their own music and want time and space to explore ideas.

These lessons include everything you get in a piano lesson, with added time and focus on creating original music. Students explore rhythm, melody, harmony, and structure while developing the skills to turn musical ideas into finished pieces.

Building musical foundations

We go a little deeper into:

• scales
• chords
• theory

This work gives students the tools to understand how music functions and how to use those tools intentionally in their own writing.

Starting simply

We begin in the simplest way possible:

• pencil
• eraser
• manuscript paper

Students sketch melodies, rhythms, and harmonies by hand, learning how to hear what they imagine and place it on the page.

Over time, some students choose to expand into tools like:

• an iPad
• notation software such as Sibelius
• simple recording tools or home recording software

These tools can help students hear their music played back, revise their ideas, and begin building a small portfolio — but none of this is required at the start. We add tools only when they support the student’s goals.

Songwriting and recording

For songwriting students, lessons may also include:

• simple recording tools (such as a Voice Memos app)
• journals for lyrics and musical ideas

Often, a pencil and a way to capture ideas is all that’s needed to begin.

Young Composers Project

Students ages 10–18 who have studied composition for two or more years may be eligible to participate in the Young Composers Project, a nationally recognized program run by Fear No Music. Only a small group of teachers are invited to guide students into the program. I’m always honest about readiness, and we work toward opportunities like this at a pace that feels healthy and encouraging.

If you feel even a small spark of curiosity about writing your own music, this is a warm, steady place to begin.
