My practices educating the player are founded on building a routine that addresses the current and future demands in skills appropriate to the age, experience and goals of the player. The methodologies I prescribe as elements of a routine, come from all of my colleagues through the decades, players teachers and students alike. I will use any solution I have experienced, seen, or believe will work for the student that "adds or fits" into their approach to playing. Read More

If the student is a beginner, I suggest just playing one note for a short time and expand that to three notes. This can be done very quickly, then most students can move to easy tunes on a single sheet of music. This music is commonly known as sheet music and con be accessed and played in line or through the purchase of said sheet music on many sites. If the student in not a beginner, advanced or intermediate I have to do a performance ability assessment. Read More

I believe that a strong foundation is essential for steady progress and confident performance. A comprehensive approach is my preference. Therefore, when I teach piano, I prefer Faber and Faber Piano Adventures paired with A Dozen a Day for added technique.

I spend a reasonable amount of time preparing my students for our recitals and many of them join in the group songs, which have included "What a Wonderful World", "Happy", and currently "The Theme From Midnight Cowboy".
