My teaching began in high school, where friends and friends of friends would hear that I played and ask me to teach them.

My style of teaching revolves around a solid foundation in technique and proper ways to practice. This is the hardest part about having music lessons, because its all about muscle memory. I advise learning the basics before jumping straight into learning pieces. It's very important to play the right way, and more importantly, practice the right way. Another thing that I teach is that failure is not bad in itself, but its only part of the process that lets a student know what to work on. Read More

My teaching method works for all students, no matter the age or musical level. Read More

Growing up I’ve had a variety of coaches, one thing I noticed is that I was always lost enameled by the teachers that nurtured my creativity. Many times there are music teachers that only teach what they like and what they know. My students can expect to expand their versatility but as a smaller portion of the overall focus.

My methods vary as do each and every one of my students. I feel that a classical background is paramount in learning proper technique in piano. The student can add his/her own genre to the mix, once the fundamentals are achieved. (In fact, I recommend this highly). I like to offer some of the apps that Apple and Android computers have as there are many and suitable for all ages/levels. Read More
