For beginner students, I like to use the Faber books or the Thompson method for piano. I also encourage students of all ages to share what they enjoy listening to and incorporate songs they enjoy as early as possible. As students progress I get into more in depth concepts in music theory and improvisation, to provide a foundation in the language of contemporary music. For more advanced students, I try to play another instrument along with them sometimes to provide a taste of what it is like to make music in a group setting. Read More

If you are looking for a Classic teacher with classic teaching methods, you are looking in the wrong spot. I teach with an instant gratification method. You will still be just as skilled (if not more) as the rest of any other musicians out there but what you will have and develop is your own artistry and your own path as a musician. So many teaching styles try to make music more of a science rather than a passion. Read More

I have a very patient and laid back personality which I think benefits most students.  The last thing a student wants to feel is pressure from their teacher to perform up to the teacher's standards.  Everyone has a different idea of success and this also translates in the world of music.  Some want to become world-class virtuosos, while others want to simply enjoy playing music for their personal fulfillment.  Neither path is right or wrong and I will work with all of my students to maximize their particular goals.

My job is to bring out talents that my students did not know they had, to develop their awareness of the elements of music performance, and to lead them to discover and expand their musical taste by introducing them to different styles of music, such as Jazz, Classical, and Rock. And if they already possess a measure of musical ability and taste, I advice them and encourage them to develop it to the fullest. Read More

I do however have a few principals that carry over to all students. First and foremost music should be fun! Read More
