My Method
Faber Piano Adventure Lesson Books
I teach piano up to Level 4 of the Faber Piano Adventure series, helping students build a strong foundation with engaging lessons tailored to their pace and interests.
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.
Learn Your Favourite Songs
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.
Check out my blog to see which songs I can teach you as a beginner, and get inspired to play the music you actually love!

The focus is on building confidence in playing, learning where the notes are on the piano, and developing basic sight-reading skills. 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 shift the focus more to why music works, the patterns found in music, and why student's favorite songs sound and feel the way they do.

We concentrate on refining technique and playing more complex songs. Student's will have mastered the circle of fifths by the end of Level 3B and will be able to play any song they choose, confidently and independently, without needing my help for chords.
