Wade's Piano Lessons- Kingstowne, VA & Online

I provide piano lessons for students spanning all ages and levels of expertise. My teachings encompass classical, jazz, rock music, theory, sight-reading, and playing by ear, all of which are supported by my substantial professional experience in various genres.

For beginners, I take a systematic approach to the basics, maintaining a steady pace that aligns with the student's capabilities. My philosophy is that any obstacle can be broken down into simple components, whether it be reading music or techniques. My aim is to assist the student in moving ahead gradually, ensuring a positive sense of growth and triumph in every lesson while enjoying the learning process and avoiding pressure.

This outlook applies equally to students who are more advanced. Whether we are focusing on dynamics, articulation, advanced rhythmic concepts, theory or improvisation, I adopt a similar approach. By breaking down these concepts into smaller components that can be practiced consistently, students will see significant improvements over time. My principle is that modest achievements are significant and I strive for my students to feel the same way. My ultimate goal is for them to look back on the small successes as contributing to the big overarching accomplishments, which will serve as an enduring source of satisfaction and motivation.
