About Mariam

My name is Mariam Mouawad, and I run my own private music studio called Studio MusiCAL. I have been teaching ever since I was 15 as a student-teacher, and took piano lessons from the age of six all the way through college. I've had multiple piano teachers, and my teaching style has developed from what I've learned with each of them.

I participated in multiple Festivals, the National Piano Auditions, and various other performances, concerts, etc. My participation in these events and my experiences with live performance has given me the tools to prepare my own students adequately for the same thing. I'm proud to say they have all done extremely well, and have learned to enjoy it!

Besides teaching, I enjoy composing, improvising, performing as accompanist at my Church, and working on different projects on the side. I've had experience being Assistant Musical Director in musical theater, did recordings for a CD soundtrack that accompanies the epic fantasy series The Epic of Ahiram, and performed live for different events such as wedding and funeral services, conventions, and social gatherings.

I had and still have students who incorporate their musical skills in their own lives; either as student teachers, performing for the choir at their own Church, joining a band, composing their own music, and performing for weddings.

More than anything, it is my express desire to work with each student in finding and completing personal goals in music, as well as to understand and appreciate this wonderful musical ability. I love what I do, and that makes my job a joy and a dream come true.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting my page!

I started out as a student-teacher when I was 15 years-old, and haven't stopped since! I realized how much I loved the art of teaching music, and I see myself as a guide in helping each student reach their musical goals in life, whatever that may be. I've taught students from all ages, the youngest being 5, to adults, and all levels. It's been an honor to see each student grow and become well-rounded pianists throughout the years!

About the lesson

The first step is giving parents/new students all the necessary information they will need with regards to my teaching style, studio policy, and teaching philosophy.

Secondly, I request information from each new student so that I can better understand and guide them to their personal goals.

Lastly, we meet up for a trial lesson, which is where I assess the students' level and musical knowledge, and where they can get a feel for my teaching style.

My student clientele have ranged from serious, focused pianists who take a traditional, classical approach, to those who are learning piano as a hobby, to those working for a specific goal (i.e. composition, improvisation, accompanist at Church), as well as those with special needs. Whatever the goal/idea, I see it as my job to help each person achieve it in the absolute best way possible.

Learning the piano is an art. It provides the player with a set of skills, techniques, and a special understanding of how music works. While the education you receive from learning something as intricate as music is irreplaceable, it is important to remember that 'practice makes perfect'. It may not always be fun or easy, so you must take music and piano playing seriously. But if you're willing to put the effort and work into it, you'll be able to reach a level of professionalism and be able to use your experience in other areas in your life!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Make a list of what your musical goals are, what opportunities you would like to seek, and what areas of music you would like to learn about. There's so much to cover, including technique, theory, accompaniment, classical repertoire, jazz, improvisation, composition, music history, ensemble, performance, recording studio, teaching, and more! If you know what you would like to focus on, that will better help your teacher in guiding you through it.

Our five children have enjoyed the tutelage of Mariam as their piano teacher for seven years. She gently challenges them and helps them to achieve their potential as they prepare their pieces for festivals and recitals. She is patient, but firm, and approaches each child with a smile and encouragement, considering their preferences in music and allowing them to suggest compositions for practice. While working with my husband and me, Mariam has brought beauty into our home through music. It has been a great joy to have Mariam teach our children and to hear the results of her teaching as they practice their pieces in our home. I highly recommend anyone to consider Mariam as their child's future piano teacher.
