Hi!  
My name is Kate Bohonos. I teach piano and music composition to some wonderful students in Rochester, NY. Please take a look around this site if you'd like to learn more about me and the way I teach.

Biography
I didn't always love piano. I remember sitting on the piano bench in our dining room as a young girl, crying, while my mother called out "Tennnnnnnnn Mooooooooooore Minutes!!" from the kitchen. Click here to read the rest of Miss Kate's bio.

How I Teach Piano
Lessons are upbeat, positive, well-paced and keep the student engaged and enthusiastic. I incorporate theory, ear training, and composition into my lessons. I offer both traditional piano lessons and lessons taught based on the Suzuki Method, or "Mother Tongue Approach."

How I teach Composition
When I start composition with a student, we begin by discovering the melodies that the students have inside them. I teach them how to listen for the melody, and then we find the notes on the piano. Click here to read more about how I teach composition.
