About Eleanor
My piano teaching philosophy centers on the belief that music education should be both rigorous and deeply personal. I work closely with students to develop technical proficiency—emphasizing finger strength, articulation, rhythmic precision, and sight-reading skills—while nurturing their individual musical identities through exploration and creativity. I incorporate a wide range of musical styles, helping students connect classical traditions with contemporary music that inspires them. By integrating theory and practice, I encourage students to understand the “why” behind what they play, which strengthens their overall musicianship. My lessons often include improvisation exercises, compositional projects, and guided listening to expand musical awareness. For beginners, I use storytelling, movement, and color-coded materials to make learning accessible and engaging. For advanced students, I focus on nuanced interpretation, advanced repertoire, and performance preparation, including stage presence and mental resilience. A particularly rewarding experience was supporting a student with performance anxiety by introducing mindfulness techniques alongside rigorous practice, resulting in a breakthrough recital. I provide detailed feedback, customized practice plans, and flexible scheduling to accommodate busy lifestyles. Ultimately, my goal is to help students develop a lifelong relationship with the piano that balances technical skill, artistic expression, and personal fulfillment.

My teaching philosophy revolves around nurturing both the technical skills and artistic sensitivity that make piano playing a rich, fulfilling pursuit. Each student I work with is unique, and I take care to personalize lessons to their musical interests, goals, and learning preferences.
Early lessons focus on building a strong technical foundation: proper posture, finger agility, timing, and note recognition. I select repertoire thoughtfully to match skill level and tastes, incorporating classical pieces, contemporary songs, jazz standards, and cinematic music to keep lessons fresh and exciting. Music theory and ear training are integrated seamlessly into the curriculum to support well-rounded musicianship. I believe creativity is vital, so I incorporate improvisation and composition exercises that empower students to explore their individual musical ideas.
Consistent practice habits and effective goal-setting are essential topics we address regularly, helping students maintain motivation and develop confidence. I utilize technology such as recording devices, metronome apps, and digital sheet music to enhance learning and self-assessment. A memorable teaching moment was witnessing a young student overcome initial nervousness to perform a complex piece flawlessly at a recital, showcasing both technical mastery and emotional depth. I aim to cultivate a warm, encouraging environment that fosters growth, resilience, and a lifelong passion for piano.
