Each lesson helps beginners or advanced students with unique lessons. Most student lessons last 45 minutes- and not uncommon up to an hour, and even more at no extra charge. It's a recharge that may require more than a week of practice, so schedule accordingly. My beginning music course has "handout" copies of my lessons to encourage individual students learning theory and sight reading. I use the "Michael Aaron" course for beginners, progressing with new techniques and work borks by John Thompson, covering classical, pop, rock and blues. Read More

I have many live performance, recording, live radio and TV performances and interviews that give me a wealth of knowlege to share with students that are aspiring Rock Star's to be. Read More

Lessons are designed for each individual student according to their learning style, aptitude and speed of learning. Most important for me is that the student feels confortable and enjoys lessons, so that learning can be fun. I introduce and develop each concept through selected songs and piano pieces arranged in order from easy to more difficult, and I incorporate music theory, technique and performance skill learning. I teach repertoire from different musical periods and styles, to cover music history from Renaissance and Baroque to Contemporary. Read More

After assessing the student's age and experience we select a method book or repertoire. I typically suggest the Alfred books for young students. I aim to introduce my students to a variety of repertoire, (from baroque to modern music) but I also keep their goals and interests in mind. I consider music theory, ear training, music reading, and creative music-making just as essential as learning repertoire, therefore I strive to incorporate them in each lesson. Read More
