“Scott’s gentle guidance and passion for music has motivated my children not only to play the piano but also to explore different ways of playing - jazz, classical, and popular music - and to take what they have learned to compose their own little pieces. He teaches them not only how to play but also how to “feel” the music. He is a wonderful teacher.”
School-age and adult students at Piano Plus Teaching Studio are often surprised by how quickly they’re playing melodies and songs. Because lessons are tailored to each person’s goals, interests, and needs, students typically learn “popular/favorite music” along with core skills - some of which include: technique, guided listening, reading, chord playing and improvising. This comprehensive learning approach allows students to build a solid musical foundation while having fun at the same time. Piano Lessons are offered on a weekly basis in time intervals of 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
School-age Students
School-age students most often use the word "fun" to describe their learning experiences at Piano Plus. Parents appreciate the balanced teaching approach that encourages optimal challenge within a relaxed and supportive learning environment.
“Scott varies his teaching style depending upon a student’s need and his/her personality and has a special skill for keeping the kids motivated. Both my children learn from him and we all enjoy the lessons and the wonderful music and joy they bring into our home.”
Adult Students
If you’re starting from scratch or returning to lessons after some time away, you can rest assured that I’m ready to help you move forward. While most adult students are primarily interested in playing for their own enjoyment, others prefer to concentrate on developing specific skills or, perhaps, explore new styles of music (e.g., Classical, Jazz, Broadway, Blues, etc.). Each person's path is unique.
Playing Events
Community Music Showcase
School-age students share the stage with professional and college-level musicians along with invited musical guests during June's Student Showcase. Each student typically performs a solo piece along with a collaborative work.
