Piano Lessons with Kasey
Hello! Welcome to my piano studio.
To guide a well-rounded musician, I believe in building a strong background in ear-training and musicality, exploring students’ interests in playing different genres (contemporary, pop, musical theater, jazz, etc.) and introducing composition and improvisation. My approach to teaching is student-centered and individualized, as I learn and adapt to the student’s character, skills, abilities and musical development in each lesson. I believe students should be surrounded by a nurturing, supportive atmosphere, allowing them to become self-motivated and independent learners. Together, we will learn how to grow as pianists through our musical creativity and story-telling.

To assist students during the week, I will ask them to send me a quick video on Marco polo, a super kid-friendly app available on apple or android devices.
For many of the off-the-bench activities I do with students to help reinforce concepts, I’ll frequently refer to products from my family’s music business, EZ Notes.
If the student has access to a Spotify account, I like to create their own playlist where I can add pieces for them to listen to throughout the week.

Yes, I have experience tutoring students who are preparing for the AP Music Theory tests or similar equivalencies to that. However, with all of my piano students, I include music theory in every lesson plan, as it is an essential part of a student’s musical foundation and understanding.
