About Eleanor

I'm an older piano teacher with a studio in my home in Bolton. Your daughter is at an excellent age to learn quickly. Even though I have been teaching for many years, I am always excited when I meet a new student. I take July off for a summer break, but will resume with those interested in August.

I have 2 piano "parties" at my house, in November and March, where students can play musical games (musical chairs), and perform and listen to each other. No adults are invited. In June there is a recital at a local church where family members and friends may attend and appreciate the musical progress.

I studied piano from age 4 through high school, then became a registered nurse. After my 3rd child was born I decided I didn't want to continue in nursing, but wanted to pursue music. I went back to school at Clark University in Worcester, MA, and began teaching after graduation. I continue to be excited with each new student

I have a Bachelors in Music from Clark University, and a diploma from the University of Western Ontario.

About the lesson

I try to discover what the student's goals are. I usually ask if he (she) would like to play something for me, or has music that he (she) would like to learn. If it seems appropriate I play prospective music for the student so that they have a better idea of what it sounds like and what techniques are involved. Then I usually have the student try the piece, perhaps hands separately and then together. Depending on the level of the student, I might do some theory work or scales, chords and inversions.

I have had students from age 5- 70. Occasionally I have had special needs students. Some students have become teachers and used their music education. A few have majored in music in college.

You get out of the venture relative to what you put in. It takes regular practice to make good progress.

I have a "piano party" at my house in November and March, when students play musical games and their favorite pieces for each other. But my favorite event usually is, and was last May, the end of the year recital when students perform for their friends and family at the local church. The talent stretches from 5 year olds to students graduating from high school. My graduating senior this past year not only performed beautiful classical music, but improvised in classical style. Everyone loved his music!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you really want to accomplish?

Can you find a regular time to practice?
