I like to customize my lesson plans based on the student's needs. It also depends on the style of music that is being learned. I typically like to start with the Rubank method books.

I also provide many fundamental exercises I have created and used in my daily practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My teaching method begins with fundamentals. First, I teach about the piano itself. Second, I teach the notes. Third, I teach tones and steps. Fourth, I teach about major and minor scales.

I usually at this point let them select a song to play as well as I assign music. Read More
