Piano Lessons in Benson, NC

I'm a patient and experienced teacher who wants to help every student enjoy playing piano! I make a point of listening to students and trying to match a method and music to their needs and goals. I love to teach keyboard skills, and to make reading music easier for students so they can become independent learners and musicians. I have a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Music in Piano Pedagogy Performance, and over 25 years of teaching experience. Read More

This usually leads to a mixture of classical, contemporary and jazz or musical theatre. I believe that a student needs to be enjoying their lessons and their practice and if they do then they will make the most progress. I make my lessons fun and encourage students to perform whenever they get the opportunity. Performing is a great motivator as is playing in a band or orchestra. Playing music brings something special to every students life and I’m always looking to help share the music with new students both young and old! Read More
