I have over twenty years experience teaching music students of all ages. I started teaching music students in 1986 at a Jr. High/High School and prepared all choral students for both solo and ensemble festivals and large group competitions.

For young beginners, I have come to love the Bastien Piano Basics Series. It’s fun, and loaded with colorful pictures, which is especially fitting for the little ones! However, I’ve come to find that it’s not a “one size fits all” when it comes to piano methods; I’ve used Faber’s Piano Adventures with a few of my current students, as well as Alfred’s Piano Basics.
