About Bernice

I'm delighted to welcome you to the Kids 'n Keys Piano Studio world of music. The Studio is dedicated to bringing music alive for piano students of all ages.

As an experienced piano teacher with more than 20 years of experience I bring a warm, nurturing environment to introduce the magic and joy of music to children and adults.

Students enjoy individualized study which includes music theory, notation, rhythm, ear training, artistry and technique. Each student's lesson is age appropriate and tailored to their individual learning style to promote musicianship from the very first piano lesson.

Education:

College of Lake County

Carthage College

I love to see the progress my students make. They rock my socks off!

I opened my studio in Vernon Hills Il in 1986 after my son's piano teacher closed her studio. It introduced me to the best experience of my life and has become my passion!

College of Lake County

Cathage College

Numerous workshops

About the lesson

I have a short questionnaire for the parent to fill out. Questions like "what subject is your favorite" "What frustrates you" "do you have a pet" "do you play a sport" "What do you do when you aren't in school". These questions allow me to get to know the child. We sit at the piano and I explains that we are going to play some music together. I show the child the piano keys they can use and we begin playing. They love that fact that it sounds so wonderful.

Then we talk and identify the black & white keys. I use little animal erasers that the child places on the keyboard to identify each note. I use Piano Pronto and Faber Piano Adventures as my go to lesson books. Each book includes note reading, piano technique and music theory.

I love working with all ages but have a deep love for teaching ages 6-18!

An interview is a must. The teacher should offer a free lesson to see how the student and teacher work together. Be prepared to answer questions about practice schedules and dates you are available for lessons.

Schmitt Music offers workshops for piano teacher every year. This year they offered a recital featuring Grigor Khachatryan & his wife. A piano & violin duo....It was wonderful...Beethoven, Schuman....

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Piano lessons require practice at home. Students need to look at their schedule and make sure that they will have at least a 30 + minute time slot every day (5 days a week) to practice. Success will not happen without practice.

Bernie is a warm, caring individual who loves to share her skills as a musician and pianist with children. I recommended two of her piano students and found they loved Bernie's teaching style. The parents were pleased with their children's progress which was important because they themselves were good musicians. Bernie has a lovely, sweet manner, great sense of humor, is flexible, creative, intelligent, well-spoken and highly organized person! Bernie is always keeping up with current trends in technology which makes her a lifelong learner herself! I highly recommend Bernie as a piano instructor!
