Frances Kramer

I have been teaching piano full-time since 1999. I specialize in instilling a very solid foundation of instrumental and musical skills in my students while focusing on developing individual interests in each student that will last a lifetime because they are his/her own with encouragement and support. I have studied at Hartford Conservatory, Hartt School of Music, Bryn Mawr College, Mannes School of Music and have studied privately with Shelley Gilbert(Classical Piano), Jill McManus (Jazz Piano), Mark Soskin (Jazz Piano), Michael Cochrane (Jazz Piano). I have professional live and recording experience in most styles of music including classical, pop, R&B, dance, world, country, bluegrass, folk, Americana, and singer-songwriter on piano, voice, guitar, banjo,and oboe. I have been a professional musician since the age of fifteen. Guitar, voice, and bass guitar lessons are also available.
