I work to encourage my students to be an active participant in setting and achieving goals in our work together, while maintaining a fun, positive atmosphere. Read More

To help you find the beauty and enjoyment in playing music, I will use all of my experience teaching, which includes not only music but mathematics and science. I have taught these two in classrooms and as a private tutor for 15 years. I have taught music primarily to more advanced musicians who were struggling to grow as musicians, and had reached a point where they felt they could not move any further forward. Read More

I will also help a student with any outside pieces for school or the community. Piano Lessons: For beginning students who are very young, I start with Bastien Piano Basics or Hal Leonard Essential Elements. For adults/teens, I use the KJOS Bastien book for adults or the upper level books by Hal Leonard. I also have my students play popular pieces or holiday pieces of their choosing in addition to their classical repertoire. Read More
