Ever since I was young I was learning all I could about music. I took classes in highschool (even helping my music theory teacher teach the class when she was busy).

I am the students greatest motivator. I love to bring out the best in all of my students and help them discover things about their musical capacities that they never have before. I am highly enthusiastic and believe that every one learns at their own pace. Its never about how quickly you learn something, but about how well you learn it, even if it takes time. I like to acknowledge the students progress and their accomplishments because I believe it helps the student to have the desire to keep learning and progressing. Read More

It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded. While piano instruction is certainly central to each lesson, I also spend time teaching music theory and ear training. I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More

At the very first lesson, I try to understand how far along in training the singer has come. From the very beginning we sing so I get to understand the singers voice. Their strengths and weaknesses.

I am trained in a European classical format as well as Broadway foundation that can help benefit any singer. Read More

I first started teaching kids privately about 4 years ago in their home and I started off with just basic stuff like note reading and pop music but as time passed by I came up with a teaching method that I am pretty confident in. I also worked at a tutoring center teaching guitar and piano to the kids focusing on more rock styles of playing. So my students were learning music from their favorite bands and what they wanted to learn. Read More

My approach to each student is individual and dependent on the experience of the student. For beginning students I focus almost exclusively on the fundamentals such as right and left hand independence, finger positioning, posture, and so on. Then I'll try introducing more complexity in increments. For adults, my method is the same as with children unless the adult in mind has demonstrated greater expertise on the instrument. If the adult is more advanced I'll introduce more difficult piano repertoire to challenge the student. Read More

When I was six I decided that I wanted to play the piano. Since I was very young, I always enjoyed listening to my mother play Classical Music, that was the moment when I developed my passion for playing the piano. I come from a very musical and artistic family. I am most passionate about Classical Music, and have always wanted to share my passion to others. My mother has not only been the root of my inspiration but also always been my instructor. Read More
