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.

Donovin has been teaching me piano lessons for the past six months. I started attending his classes this February. I had zero prior knowledge, and playing the piano was a hobby I had wanted to pick up for a long time. During the first few weeks, he took the time to understand my needs, identify which teaching methods would work best for me, and created a clear learning path. After just a few months, I began seeing great progress—I was able to play Love is Butterfly by Lana Del Rey entirely on my own! He is one of the most understanding, knowledgeable, and flexible instructors I’ve ever had. I definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for a great piano teacher.
Donovin is a very encouraging teacher who is easy to talk to and has very useful direct feedback. When he gives advice to improve he approaches with specifics and technique that I find works splendidly!
