Yasamin Abedi
Summary
I am a performance-driven piano instructor proficient in teaching private and semi-private lessons and adept in using multiple and up-to-dated methods to instruct students. Being friendly and well-organized with eight years of experience, I assess students' progress to create personalized lesson plans to facilitate learning. We learn to play and sing and dance to the rhythms together no matter what the age of the student is, and with each other, we choose their repertoires and what they need to learn based on their musical taste and playlist.
