My piano tuition is designed to be engaging and tailored, allowing students to grasp everything from scales and chord progressions to more advanced elements of composition and harmony.
Music Theory: The Backbone of Music
Music theory serves as the backbone of all musical instruction, laying a foundation that enhances piano playing as well as other instruments such as the saxophone and violin.
