Maia Dusini | Offering private lessons in Auburn, Washington |
Introduction I am a professional piano teacher who is patient and knowledgeable. I work well with children and I teach ages 5 and above, all levels. Ultimately, I want to create musicians, not mere mimics, each with their own unique heart, soul, mind, and musical gifts. With each student I endeavor to instill a love for the piano and for all music. I want to show them the beauty and wonder of classical repertoire. I do my best to make sure every student has complete confidence in themselves and their musical abilities. I want them to be proud of who they are and what they can accomplish. I don’t want my students to settle for less; on the contrary, I strive for them to aspire to be their best.
My Teaching Background I have been teaching for the past 8 yrs and I have a Bachelor's Degree in Classical Piano Performance. I studied with renowned pianist/teacher Dr. Peter Mack for 6 years. I am a member of the Washington State Music Teacher's Association as well as the Music Teacher's National Association.
My Teaching Philosophy My philosophy is that there are definite values that should be upheld when learning music, especially the piano and classical repertoire. These values are starting with the basics of reading music (notation and counting) and understanding how music is written. Once a student learns the basics, they are never limited in what they can learn because they can pick up any piece of music and play it (without the need to copy someone else).
Another core value is learning how to play musically. Many people think that once they learn the notes, they have mastered the song! This is far from accurate. There is so much more to music than just learning the notes. I strive to put an understanding of playing musically into each of my students. I encourage them to really listen to the sounds they are creating. My long term goal is for them to gradually become their own teachers so that when they practice at home they will be able to assess their playing on a higher level.
