I generally start with a Q & A to get a feel for the artist and what their true intent is, then I go for the kill. I need to know the who, what, where, when and why of the music industry in their own words. The how part is what we will work on together to achieve the goal. Pen and Pad has always been tradition when writing a song, but I recommend some app to where your created work is automatically dated. Read More

We are all different. Each student has their own pace of learning. So, I encourage this with setting up realistic goals for each student. Every lesson, I write memos about assignemnts, and student's progress compare to previous lesson/week. Therefore, students and parents will receive "Progress Results" in every four lessons. (or every first week of the month.) Read More

The most importat item is to have fun, if your not having fun your intrest will fade. Read More

We will work together to set an effective practice routine that helps you achieve that goal while making you feel accomplished and engaged. After all, having fun is the name of the game! Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

I have fairly casual lessons. I want my students to have fun while still making meaningful progress. I don't turn pages just to turn pages.

I feel it is not their job to teach their children piano, and what they say may confilct with what I say. Read More
