Most parents tell me that the piano lessons they had as a kid were boring, tedious and dull. Or, they tell me the kids next door to them have quit taking lessons because they hated practicing at home.
I make it my personal mission to keep kids engaged, motivated and excited about playing piano.
My students:
Learn new songs easily because they know the foundations of music (theory, rhythm, steady pulse, note reading) right away, setting the stage for them to learn all types of music.
Write their own songs, giving them license to be creative, have ownership, and gain a deeper understanding of music.
Gain poise and self-confidence by performing in up to 6 Recitals and events each year!
Use state of the art technology on iPads with over 200 musical games that make reviewing and learning new musical concepts fun and exciting!
Weekly Music Lab catapults and easily cements their understanding of music theory and concepts taught at lessons. Students complete their books and master skills much quicker than the average piano student! .
Receive additional support and instruction during free, optional, Mid-Week Mini Lessons by FaceTime or Skype. Students can ask questions and get help (I have a no frustrated student policy), celebrate their efforts and possibly learn a new piece - again, propelling students to advance and gain skills very quickly!
Celebrate successes for progress and commitment to piano both inside and outside the lesson. Take a peek at some of our student’s celebrations here.
Reap all the benefits that science has shown piano instruction provides, including: increased academic performance, raising IQ, promoting a sense of balance, reducing stress, increasing self-esteem, etc.
Feel motivated, excited, and prepared during their lesson to be able to easily complete their practice at home.
Many adults tell me my program is nothing like what they endured, they wish they had taken lessons from me, they are so glad their children do, and they describe how much their kids love coming to their lessons at Marin Piano Studio - that their children, literally, run into the studio each week!
