About
[4.99 rating over 69 reviews from another lesson platform]
I've been banging on the piano since I was 3, but piano became more structured when I turned 7 and I've loved piano so much since then! I've been classically trained in the US and then later in Italy, but I've been playing since early 2001. My favorite genre is Modern Japanese Classical music (fancy name for anime and video game music). While studying abroad with my Maestro in Italy however, I was only allowed to play classical music so I became even more proficient in that musical genre.
I have been teaching Children and Adult students since 2010. People aren't' intimidated when I'm around and I believe students benefit greatly when they are comfortable with the teacher and can feel natural around them. The teaching process is most successful when the students share their ideas, disagreements, goals; when they are challenged and test their abilities.

My 7 year old son had a great first lesson. He is super excited about piano and Sabrina did a great job directing that energy and engaging him through a digital interface.
Sabrina has a great ability to take a complex techniques and break it down into manageable pieces. Her enthusiasm for teaching rubs off into an enthusiasm for learning.
Sabrina is a great instructor, she takes the time to assess where you are, and where you want to go. I have been working with her in the group lessons on ******, and her ability to take complex theory and techniques and break them down into understandable and applicable uses is the reason why I have chosen to take private lessons with her, She is very enthusiastic and passionate about helping you achieve your goals,

Teaching Style
I am very laid back and love to laugh, but I do expect the students to be prepared and practice, this way they benefit the most from each teaching session. I believe students should be involved in their curriculum, so I encourage all to bring in pieces THEY WANT to play because this will make the learning process overall more fun and enjoyable. My trust is, if you practice regularly you can accomplish much in a short period of time. Whatever you put into learning piano, is what you will get out, whether great or small.
