I've taught privately for over 30 years and have been teaching from my home studio in South Pasadena since 1994. Everyone who studies with me deserves as thorough a musical education as I can give them.

While its important for the teacher not the student to establish the course of study, I believe that sticking to a rigid ideology is a mistake. Read More
