My Mission

Enjoy Learning

My main focus is to make sure all of my students enjoy learning the piano. I really feel that the key to learning an instrument is to enjoy what you learn & I will always try to make sure we aim towards this together.

During our lessons we will learn a wide range of styles and genres with the option of learning towards graded exams if you like. I will make a lesson plan that best suits your needs.

My Lessons

All Ages Welcome

I offer lessons to students of all ages (6+) so no matter how old you are, it's never too late or too early to get started. I understand that Adults learn different to children and will always adapt and tailor my lesson plans to meet the needs of that individual.

My main method of teaching is by teaching you the songs you love. I think it's important to be learning pieces that suit your style and involves the music you like. This helps motivation when practicing and will allow for us to make steady progress throughout the lessons.

Prices:

$30 per 1/2 hour

Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.

“Thank you so much for your services at Jill and Chris’ wedding. I received several compliments on the “added touch” of music during the cocktail hour and I have you to thank for that. It was simply lovely. My best wishes to you.”

“I wish I could put into words what playing on the piano means to Callah. She is so excited to show ANYONE what you’ve taught her…and she could talk about it all day long. She always wants to play, so we focus on giving her her own time where she wont’ be interrupted by the younger two, but where my husband and I can still listen and provide praise or feedback. And the house filled with piano music is an added reward for me”

“We’ve Had 3 lessons but so far it’s been wonderful. My 5 year old enjoys Gina and her lessons. She is very good at holding her attention and gauging when my kid has had enough. We are just trying out the piano so the trial price is perfect. Gina is punctual and professional.”

My Experience as a Teacher

As a child, every time I walked by a piano, I had to play it! I have loved playing piano and clarinet for so many years!

I love teaching both instruments as well! I played clarinet in my college marching band at Florida State while studying classical piano and composition with great teachers there.

I then studied both piano and composition again (plus jazz, music theatre writing) at the Eastman School of Music.

More About My Lessons

I think being creative and kind are the best goals in teaching. I also try to listen to what the student needs and wants to learn.

I have many years of experience teaching in person and have been teaching online since the onset of the pandemic. I teach over FaceTime, Skype or Zoom.

My beginners enjoy the Pianimals series which breaks down music into its easiest to learn elements in a fun way! I also teach students through high school levels!
