For a young 11 year old beginner, homework assignments will begin with the instrument itself, and then eventually Book One of any method book desired.

Finally, with middle and above levels; solos, ensemble work, duets, and additional etude books will be used. Read More

I believe method books and small pieces of repertoire are an excellent tool for getting beginning students engaged in music. I also aim to tie in my compositional and improvisational skills into the mix; this can permit beginning students who have yet to master technique to express themselves more freely than written notation may allow them to. Piano is a wonderful instrument because it presents limitless possibilities for sound and is very intuitive -- why not use that openness to let your creative potential soar! Read More
