Piano Lessons with James Weinberg

About Me

My studio is in FRANKLIN, 20 miles South of Nashville. Please don't make an inquiry if you live too far away to drive there. To purchase your lead from LessonRating costs me $5.00. It's not practical to do that, so you will not hear from me!

My Musical Education Background

James studied piano in some of the finest studios in Rochester NY, including the Eastman School of Music. He branched out into organ and church music, studying at SUNY Fredonia, Stetson University, George Peabody College for Teachers and lastly at Belmont in Nashville. He has taught privately for over 10 years, seven of which were at Belmont Academy. In 2008 he moved his studio to Holy Cross Anglican Church in Franklin where he is organist-choirmaster. James' Music Studio welcomes a student body of diverse ethnic and national heritage, as well as all ages and skill levels. James caters to home-schooled children and offers semester grades for those wishing arts credit.

About My Lessons: Genres and Subjects Taught

NOT just classical! As a teacher of piano, organ and theory, I specialize in beginning through intermediate levels, and accept students of all ages. I also teach most styles, including jazz & pop. Theory and improvisation are text (method) based, since I believe it's crucial to have an intellectual comprehension of the principals of harmony, melody and form. People who can play by ear already do so...may the force be with them! I also do some vocal coaching, but this focuses on interpretation rather than vocal production since I am primarily an instrumentalist.
