What makes me different from other piano studios or teachers?? A lot!

Most teachers will claim they have experience teaching, as do I. I also have experience performing. Not all piano teachers perform. This does make a difference! Knowing how to play recreationally, and how to play to please an audience are two different skills. I feel it's best to know both (and even if you are only playing for your own enjoyment, this will still help).

In addition to studying music, I also studied with a Physical Therapist and with a Neurological Optometrist. You may ask, what could that possibly have to do with music?? More than you think.
Playing an instrument, such as piano, is a work of two areas: Your brain, and your hands (actually, it's three, also your eyes).

When someone  walks into a Physical Therapy office, the first thing she (or he) does is asses the patient. They find out what area is in pain, if any, and what areas have the best mobility and strength, which areas have the least mobility and strength. Exercises are then given to strengthen the weak areas and increase mobility, flexibility and overall usage. I do the same thing with your hands. Hands are everything to a pianist (as far as body parts go!). Using the same techniques Physical Therapists use, I have learned to asses an  individual's hand strength and mobility, and of each finger. I then "prescribe" the appropriate finger exercises. Don't worry, you won't even know that is happening. (The exercises only take up a minute of the lesson but it makes all the difference in being able to play). This takes more than the standard  music knowledge to do.

A Neurological Optometrist specializes in Neurological disorders of the eyes, or of vision. Again, when a patient walks into this Dr.'s office, an assessment is performed. I have learned to do a similar assessment. Things such as tracking ability and peripheral vision are important in many areas of life, music reading  included. While I won't be able to cure any visual disturbances, if any weak areas are found I can accommodate them in order to make it possible to play piano efficiently. Someone without this additional  knowledge won't really know what to do and would be scratching her head as to what is going on.
