Throughout the past 10 years, I have taught neighborhood kids and friends how to play the piano both beginning and intermediately.

Based on these goals, I will figure out the best method of incorporating theory, technique, and improvisation. I like to work on a piece of repertoire and tell we have perfected whatever the main goal of the piece is. Read More
