I teach piano up to Level 3B of the Faber Piano Adventure series, helping students build a strong foundation with engaging lessons tailored to their pace and interests. I am currently taking lessons myself to be able to teach past level 3B.
I incorporate additional Faber Piano books—such as the Christmas edition for Level 2B, and the Popular, Rock, and Classical editions for Levels 3A and 3B. This allows me to blend both approaches: learning favourite songs and continuing to build a solid foundation in piano technique and musicianship.
From Taylor Swift to The Beatles, I can teach you any song at a beginner or intermediate piano level, helping you play the music you love while improving your skills. Above are some examples of my favourites to teach.
My focus is on building confidence in playing, learning where the notes are on the piano, and developing basic sight-reading skills, from bass C to the second octave of treble E. I emphasize enjoyment by teaching songs they like, usually playing with one hand at a time and writing in note names. This stage is all about making learning fun and engaging.
The emphasis shifts toward technique and music theory, helping students expand their understanding and skills after establishing a foundation in playing.
We concentrate on refining technique and tackling more complex chord structures. By the end of Level 3B, students are typically able to play any song they choose, confidently and independently, without needing my help for chords.
