Piano Lessons in Mendon

Over a span of more than two decades, Jessa Young has taught hundreds of children & adults of all ages and stages of musical development in piano, voice, songwriting, music composition, creative improvisation, theory and technique, musical theater, workshops and music preparatory classes.

Individual music instruction is currently being offered to students that range from beginners to intermediate/advanced levels of singing and playing piano. Some of the fundamentals I use in my teaching approach:

1) Learning to play by rote enables many students to play music far beyond what they can sightread, and often speeds up the process of learning notes. It also keeps them in touch with their musicality.

2) Learning music theory on the keyboard is a great way to learn tools for improvisation and writing songs, play by ear and sightread more proficiently.

3) Classical techno is a good foundation for learning any style of music! Whether it be voice or piano.

4) Posture and releasing tension is an important part of the awareness needed for both playing piano and singing.

And finally.. Practice makes for a satisfying experience! All students are encouraged to set a practice goal that works for them and their own individual goals.
