To me, nothing is more satisfying then problem solving and that is what these lessons are. I help find the roadblock in the way of your student learning, and I give them the tools to fix it.

My favorite moments aren't during the lesson at the time, its the lesson next week where I hear the progress. Read More

I've also studied piano and found that accompanying a student or at least learning the theory of a song can go a long way in a lesson. Read More

Each student will learn repertoire from a lesson book, solo repertoire and anything else that they may express interest in. As a student progresses, their repertoire will naturally become more challenging . Read More
