What You Will Learn in Lessons

01.

Music Theory

All students will form a solid foundation of music, understanding how music works and why, so that you have the tools to teach yourself more!

02.

Rhythm

For every instrument, you must know how to play with steady rhythm. We will use the metronome and rhythm exercises to make you a solid musician.

03.

Reading Music

Whether you want to learn classical music or some other genre, we will discuss the usefulness of reading music and get down the basics.

04.

Ear Training

How do you find a vocal harmony? How do you copy a piano melody? How do you learn a guitar solo without written music? I will give you the tools to learn by ear.

05.

Scales

Scales are one of the most important foundations of understanding music; every lesson will include some scale work.

06.

Dexterity

Certain finger exercises for piano and guitar will help make it easy for you to play your instrument. And we can do vocal exercises to help you sing with ease!

07.

Improvisation

Music is a language! You can start speaking it from the first moment, and I will give you opportunities to improvise on your instrument to experiment in a fun environment.

08.

Expression

Music is an artform! Make it your own, and learn how to communicate through singing or playing. I will challenge you to do more than repeat notes; you can become a true musician. And I'll make you recital ready!

Testimonials

What Students Are Saying

"In my experience of doing lessons with Anna I have learned so many new things and have grown so much as a singer. Anna has helped me to expand my vocal range so much. In lessons we always have so much fun. I feel like singing with Anna is a safe space for me because I don’t have to worry about being judged, and all of Anna’s criticism is constructive. In short, Anna is a very great musician and I love lessons with her."

"I took lessons from Anna for a little over two years and being brand new to piano she made it very easy and very fun to learn. I like how she personalized it to each of her students so it’s relevant to what their likes and desires are- I give her five stars!"
