For beginning students, I prefer to start them on a book based in warming up and getting used to movement in hands if we are playing piano. Throughout my teaching, I incorporate music theory and ear training into my classes as it creates a fantastic bridge to understanding the instrument. As we get used to our new instrument, I will recommend some songs to get started on and allow my students to come to class with ideas and songs that they want to learn how to play or sing. Read More

My teaching experience dates back in college. I never thought that teaching would be a passion of mine until I began teaching privately 7 years ago.

My teaching includes all aspects of music; Musical theory, sight singing, as well as Music History.
