Jeremiah M., Piano Teacher, Westchester County
(914) 380-3116
About Me:
I believe that studying voice or piano begins a lifetime filled with music and an appreciation of the arts that shape our lives and culture. Music transcends personal, political, and social boundaries and connects people who perform, hear and experience its effects. Studying music should be one of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences in someone's life. It should be both fun and academic, challenging and freeing. Music and those who study it should know joy beyond all measure.

Major Influences:
I have studied piano since the age of 4. Studying classical piano literature with professional pianists from all across the United States, I have a technical approach that lends to all type of performing levels and abilities. I teach a very strong sight-reading technique that challenges my students to be able to cope with real-world situations and play any type of repertoire for a variety of settings.

Since a large number of composers are proficient pianists and because the piano keyboard offers an easy means of complex melodic and harmonic interplay, the piano is often used as a tool for composition.
