About Donovin

Hi! My name is Donovin. I have been playing piano for 13 years, writing songs for 4 years, and have been performing for 2 years. Aside from music, I also tutor English, enjoy writing poetry, having published three complete collections this year (20,000+ words). I am completely self-taught at piano and also studied music theory in college. I have turned my unique learning style into a personalized curriculum that I hope to share with others!

While I appreciate classical technique and traditional teaching, I believe that times have changed and method must change with it. I find it both beneficial and important to include contemporary elements in my teaching. In my personalized curriculum, I teach chord reading, chord charting, chord inversion, rhythm, sound dynamics, performance skills, basic music theory, basic sight reading (sheet music), and how to "play by ear." There is no set pace, I meet students where they are at any skill level, any age, any aspiration.

A typical lesson plan looks something
like:
Consultation- what do you know already? What experience level are you at?
Basic understanding- the keys on the piano, chord patterns, scales.
Rhythm and chord inversions- bass notes, rhythm, understanding sound dynamics seen in various music.
Sight reading and sheet music- review basic music theory and practice sight reading.
Play by ear- hear a melody and mimic it on the keyboard, identify what key a song is played in.
Composition- chord charting, creating melodies.
