Donald Alfano has been teaching students of all ages and levels since 1990. His students have placed in regional competitions, festivals and summer music programs. Believing that no two individuals are alike, Alfano’s teaching is geared to the specific needs and natural attributes of the student. This teaching combines elements of traditional training with more innovative and holistic approaches integrating the body as a whole in piano playing. This unique approach fosters a healthy technique, avoids injury and strain and most importantly, yields the best results musically. Several students have sought Alfano’s advice in this regard and have obtained significant results. He believes that the beginning stages of piano study are crucial in introducing the student to a natural approach to piano playing and developing an appreciation for music in youngsters.
