Specializing in the Suzuki Piano Method.
Trained & certified by the Suzuki Assoc. of the Americas.
Active teacher member of SAA.
Overview:
I have more than 35 years experience as a private piano instructor. I specialize in the Suzuki Piano Method, and have received teacher training in the method through the Suzuki Assoc. of the Americas. I am comfortable teaching all ages, including preschool. I believe that every child is able to learn to play the piano with the appropriate method and good parental involvement.
EXPERIENCE
I have operated my private independent piano studio in the San Clemente, CA area for more than 35 years.
METHODS USED
Suzuki Piano: also called the mother-tongue method. The method is modeled after the way the way children learn their native language, with an emphasis on exposure to the music being learned via listening to a recording. Note reading is not neglected, though earliest pieces are learned "by ear." The Suzuki philosophy is "Every Child Can" (learn to play).
LESSON STYLE
I teach according to each student's pace of learning, tailoring lessons to their age. Music theory games and other fun elements are incorporated into the lessons for the younger students. Once the fundamentals are learned, teen students are encouraged to make some of their own music selections with my guidance and approval.
