Specialties

I teach classical and jazz piano, electric bass, improvisation and composition. I will go to your home to teach as I am unable to teach where I am living temporarily. I play piano, synthesizer and electric bass for music theater and other venues. I have BA in piano, MA in Ethnomusicology, PhD in Music Ed. I teach all ages and levels using mainly the Socratic method, critical thinking, and programmed learning with the goal of discovering and applying aesthetic principles. I enjoy Asian cultures.

History

Established in 1990.

I started teaching piano before I received my PhD. I was teaching part-time and working at a cable TV company. Eventually the company merged with another and I was able to teach full time and I had around 40 students. I taught at a local music school in Massachusetts until last year when I moved to Virginia. My style of teaching is a mixture of the Soctratic method, critical thinking and programmed learning with the goal of discovering and applying aesthetic concepts. I teach classical, jazz, improv, theory, and composition. I like to produce solo recitals when I can.

Meet the Business Owner: Holly H.

I was born in Waltham, Massachusetts, the youngest of three. My father was a horticulturist and my mother a housewife and secretary. Because my mother played the piano for church service, I was inspired by hearing her while I was rolling around in my crib. I started playing the piano at the age of four and was composing a year later. I graduated high school a year early and went to college as a piano major, then Berklee school of music. I was inspired by world music so I went to the U of Washington in Seattle and got an MA in Enthomusicology. I spent another 2 years composing for ballet studios but then was anxious to go to New York City. Fortunately I had scholarships to go to New York University to get a PhD in composition. It changed to Music Ed. I taught in a variety of colleges but didn't care for it. I've been teaching piano since 1991 and moved to Virginia in 2012. I have written several plays for children with music and I love to play for music theater.
