For young children (ages 4-6) I use a combination of Piano Adventures "My First Piano" books and my own curriculum I've created. For children 7-9, I will start them out with Alfred's Basic Piano Library books. For children 10 and older, we'll use the Piano Adventures series. As for adults, I generally recommend Alfred's Adult Piano books. For all ages, I always include fun solo songs that cater to each student's interests. Read More

While all of my students study the same fundamental musical principles, I believe that every lesson should be as unique as every person. That's why I always create new, customized lesson plans and provide individualized materials for all of my students. In my experience, this approach is most effective at increasing the student's musical ability—and it's a lot more fun! Rather than just going cover to cover through a method book, we'll keep things interesting and fresh by playing music games (especially with younger students), composing our own music, listening to new artists, and working on pieces that are requested by the student.

I believe that every student should have a personalized music education. I often tailor my lessons and methods to be as interesting and stimulating as possible for my students. Eventually all my students have material for warm ups, method books, daily studies, and solo repertoire, though this is flexible for younger and beginning students. It is important that my students feel challenged but confident, and I always try to promote a positive learning environment. Read More
