Music Coaching: Piano, Voice, Composition. What is THAT??

Everybody I talk to says they wished they played the piano. Not to take lessons (people tell me they dropped lessons), but to actually play.

Thus, Music Coaching: this is more like a personal trainer who comes to your home and helps you achieve your musical goals in your environment. Part of this concierge medicine-like approach is that your home setup is evaluated and optimized to best ensure your ease and comfort in achieving your musical hopes and dreams. Things such as instrument, bench height, and lighting are addressed on an individual basis.

Once your home is ready for you to play, the music room setup invites you to take a seat and decompress. Music is like puzzles for your brain: it connects your eyes, your fingertips, your heart, and allows you to express long-held feelings and emotions of joy, wonder, and self-discovery. There is nothing like the ecstatic feeling of being able to play a passage that at first you thought you could never achieve.

That’s what a Music Coach does: helps you achieve your musical goals in the comfort of your own home, in a way that is empowering and liberating. Developing the ability to play music goes hand in hand with developing one’s confidence and enjoyment of life. When was the last time you danced? You read a poem? You laughed?

You sat down and played a piece of music you loved, for yourself or your loved ones?
