By training students how to set goals, they stay inspired and motivated, which inspires and motivates me to challenge them! Read More

It really depends on needs and desires of student!  I create custom lesson plans for each student depending on their current ability level, age, and future goals.

My dad employed a very competitive method on me and my siblings when teaching us piano. And although it worked on me, it caused my brother to quit piano. I have learned through my teaching experience that some students need a push and some need a pull. Every student is unique. I admit that I am the most successful with a competitive method. The "I bet you can't play that right" method. Read More
