Private Lessons
Mr. Potterton teaches piano to adults, teens and children in New York City in the wintertime. During the summer he teaches primarily adults at Summerkeys in Lubec, Maine. Through his years of experience working with these students his love of teaching has only deepened. He recognizes that every student is an individual with a unique learning style and adapts his teaching technique so that each person can be and feel successful at learning the piano. His special interest is working with adults who have had negative experiences in piano instruction and as a result feel blocked or stalled. He enjoys teaching complete beginners as much as experienced pianists and enjoys working with jazz and popular music as well as classical repertoire.
