Joyce Moulton Piano Instruction in Yarmouth, ME

My philosophy of instruction is based on some fundamental issues of language. Literacy is an important component to any language. You learn to read so you can expand your possibilities by going to the library. I would hope that no matter how many years people study piano, they would be able to go to the music store, buy some music, and teach it to themselves.

I am a classical pianist and teach my students the fundamentals of classical music. However, along with the vast abundance of classical piano literature, I would like everyone to try music of other genres as well. Some examples would be: Standard Jazz, Rock and Roll, Blues, Broadway and Ragtime, to name a few. A broad understanding of music and styles allows me to enjoy a variety of musical experiences with other people and my goal has always been to pass that along to my students.
