About

Welcome to piano class with Mr. Amir! I am a graduate of the world renowned Berklee College of Music and an experienced teacher of 10+ years, specializing in all levels and styles! All ages 6+ welcome. Lessons are virtual only and are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. My mission is to provide a positive and enjoyable musical experience for all students of all levels. Not only will you be playing songs sooner than later, you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, chords, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, hand position, and more.

Recommendations for best results: 1. Make a six month commitment to weekly lessons. 2. Practice everyday for 30 minutes.

Teaching Style

Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. I use virtual teaching books, specialized PDFs, webcams, additional microphones, and virtual smart boards all through the use of screen sharing in order to help successfully accomplish the goals of each student. I work on a student case by case basis by meeting the student where they're at while providing the individual student the materials they need in order to enhance their chops as a musician.
