Teaching
Lessons for all ages in Piano, Music Composition, and Music Theory
Online or in the Seattle Area
Steven teaches piano lessons to students of all ages and composition or music theory lessons to teens and adults. Lessons are taught on online via FaceTime or Google Meet, or in-person in students' homes in N. Seattle/Shoreline (limited availability and travel surcharge may apply).
Steven approaches piano instruction with the unique perspective of a composer and performer. His goal is to guide students through musical discoveries as they become well-rounded musicians. Steven also teaches music composition, offering instruction that draws upon his knowledge of the classical repertoire and popular styles. Steven has experience teaching students of all ages. He holds a Master's degree in music and is certified to teach Suzuki piano lessons. He offers "traditional" piano lessons (with a focus on learning to read music) and lessons offering his own unique blend of traditional methods and the Suzuki method.
Music Theory or Composition lessons are individually designed for the learning goals of each student, and they are centered on helping students understand the music they hear, the music they write, or the music they want to compose.
