For beginner students, I typically start with Faber Piano Adventures as it is a very hands-on and interactive way of learning the piano. Once those levels are completed and I determine the student is ready, we move on to more appropriate classical solo repertoire, from various composers, exposing them to every era in Western Classical music, beginning with Baroque through the contemporary period. The goal is not only to build their technique as a performer but to enrich their education by taking a holistic approach. Read More

I often invite the students to my events to encourage them to continue to be disciplined and learn all they can while they're young. I keep the methods basic so the students can always remember a good foundation for maintaining a healthy voice. Read More
