I like to work with my students to figure out what their passion is within the wide scope of music, and work from there.

For young beginners, I like to use Alfreds Basic Piano Library books. The songs inside are simple, fun, and are a great introduction to piano and music theory!

My lessons will consist of classical piano training theory, technique, and performance but we can apply this to any piece the student wants to learn! Read More
