As a piano teacher,
I advocate for a holistic course of study integrating aural skills, technical facility, theoretical analysis, and historical knowledge.
I incorporate repertoire spanning the classical canon to contemporary composers, within and beyond the Western European tradition.
I introduce relevant concepts of music theory and history in order to discern the syntax and context of a piece.
My task is to cultivate your unique ability to understand, to hear, and to play the piano.
“Ms. Saraceno is a very friendly, encouraging, and personable instructor. She keeps me updated with new pieces and exercises to practice and listen to each week. She also helps me work through pieces I’m struggling with by giving me specific tools with which I can tackle it. I enjoy working with her very much and wish I was able to take longer sessions with her.”
“Alex was very understanding and positive, she’d demonstrate creative practice techniques and other ways to improve my playing, rather than just telling me to practice.”
“Alex’s enthusiasm for the piano, as well as her knowledge of music history and theory, enhanced the way I play and listen.”
