Severino's Piano Lessons PLUS

Many of my students have made music an important part of their lives. Some have gone on to study music at institutions of higher learning, some have involved themselves in bands or choirs, some have used their lessons in aiding their career in retail music. Many students still play the piano as part of their lives long after they go on to "other things".

Parents are amazed at how easily their children learn to read music when presented in a way that is geared to the learning patterns of the young pre school mind. KEYBOARD KIDS also contains a special Theory/Reading book called MY FIRST THEORY.

My MY FIRST THEORY teaches students to spot the elementary shapes of music and know their sounds in the same way students learn the sounds of the alphabet letters to learn to "sound out" their first reading words.DAN DAN the MUSIC MAN is my pre school music program. I've taught this program at several well known pre school and Montessouri schools in the Butler, Evans City, Cranberry and Wexford areas.

TRANSFER STUDENTS - ADULT PIANO LESSONS -- I have always had an interest in teaching students that have had some previous piano training and especially the adult student. It's not at all unusual for young students to want to give piano a second look or even a third look. Also, many people don't have the opportunity to take piano lessons until they are adults so when they come they are highly motivated.

I've been teaching piano since my teen years, even before I received my music degree. I have extensive experience in teaching piano, church music, organ, and theory and composition. In my years I've been involved in professional piano teachers organizations as the National Guild of Piano Teachers and Music Teachers National Organization and have occupied leadership positions in these organizations.

Armstrong - Safari (Adventures for Piano) * Safari is a journey through a day in Africa. The day begins at dawn and ends under a starlit sky. Along the way we encounter the landscape of the savannah and many of the animals that live there. Thinking about the picture of the scene, or character of the animal will help you create a mood and atmosphere for each piece.
