About the Instructor

Suzanne Sheppard has been teaching Piano and Music Composition to students of all ages and levels for more than 25 years.  She enjoys sharing her knowledge with all who are eager to learn.  Her experience includes teaching private lessons in her own studio, various community music schools and college campuses.

I believe in the value and importance of providing each of my students with a thorough musical education.  Therefore, I instruct my piano students in technique, sight-reading, theory, performance skills and general musicianship.  Improvisation and/or arranging may be included, with lessons tailored to each individual student.  Although I am classically trained, I am well versed in a variety of popular styles and enjoy including a mix of materials in my teaching, seeking to provide a solid foundation while accommodating each student's individual interests. Yearly recitals and occasional, informal piano gatherings are organized so that students may gain valuable performance experience.

I offer private composition lessons to students who have reached at least an early intermediate level of proficiency at the piano and are actively exploring and creating ideas and/or whole pieces of music.  I assist students with notation, the development of ideas, form, melodic line and direction, theory, instrumentation and orchestration.  Listening and improvisation are encouraged.

For further information about Suzanne’s qualifications, please refer to the Teaching Experience section on pages 1 and 2 of Suzanne's CV, or call 508-801-4241.
