I have more than 30 years of successful teaching experience. In my lessons I try to create a pedagogical environment of great quality, encouraging my students making them feel stimulated, respected and confident. I believe that my success as a teacher is based in the tailoring of the teaching to the conditions, circumstances and goals of the students, guiding them with enthusiastic encouragement and respecting them taking into account their personal unique characteristics; each student is a world in itself and I like to see their smile when they realize that it is true what I told them, yes, you can!

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Method and playing by ear. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire on sheet music appropriate for their level of performance. It is important to stress the fundamentals of technique for my beginner students before just playing music. I like to incorporate music theory within their lessons, so not only are they able to hear a piece of music and can start playing but can also read sheet music that is put in front of them.

I have unlimited patience and can see when a student isnt into the course. There is no stupid question and I encourage the student to get what they want out of the class. If there is a song that you want to learn, then we will analyze that song. The overall goal is to have fun with music and the instrument that we are learning. There is no pressure to pass a test or to meet any standards. Read More

Both my mother and grandmother were pianists and teachers.
