I have been teaching piano for over 10 years and currently have over 40 students of various levels (beginner to advanced) and ages (5 to 70). I also taught a number of under-graduate piano courses at Eastman during my studies there. I am enthusiastic about playing and teaching piano, and would love to share with you (or your children) the rewarding experience that is playing the piano!
If you are a parent looking for a piano teacher for your child / children, please know that the beginning stages of learning are crucial to cultivating good habits and fundamentals down the road. Without the guidance of an experienced teacher, your child could easily develop bad habits that are extremely difficult to correct later on - I know this for a fact, since I was never taught the right fundamentals as a child, and had to spend years correcting them afterwards. Your child will also be able to perform at student recitals twice a year. I also have eligible students participate in certification programs, which is a very rewarding way of keeping students motivated.
If you are an adult looking to learn piano, know that I am a very detail-oriented teacher, and will patiently answer whatever questions you might have. In addition, I have taught a variety of music styles, so rest assured that we will find one that best suits your needs.
Lessons are available at my studio in Brighton, or online via Skype or FaceTime. If you are interested in more details, please send me an email or call me at (585) 542 - 8812. I typically respond within a few hours. Feel free to also check out my website - garykongpiano.com
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you!
