Music Lessons in San Clemente, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice

For children beginners, I usually start with either Faber & Faber Piano Adventure or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.  When the students have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will start introducing solo repertoire to get them ready for their first recital performance.  For adult students, I guide my instruction accordingly after finding out what the student is interested in to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

Teaching for over twenty years has allowed me to hone and refine my craft - and to work with a lot of really great and fun people!   Early in my career I gravitated toward a 'socratic' approach  to teaching, which is instructing just enough -  then asking questions.  In this manner I try to engage and involve the student's mind/imagination as much as possible.  At a basic level,  when we 'teach' we actually learn -  as students do when they begin to 'instruct' the teacher.
