I have always liked this statement: "The only difference between a student and a teacher is that the teacher gets the student to where the teacher is only quicker."

I also understand the importance of embracing the diverse cultural backgrounds. Read More

For adolescent beginner piano students I recommend 'John Thompson's Earliest Piano Course'.
