I typically use the Alfred books for young beginning students. In these books, children learn the geography of the keyboard and learn about the contours of musical notation and by the end are using both hands.

I also use the Aaron Technic for advanced performers. Read More

My teaching style is a something I consider to be a hybrid: I combine the academic knowledge I have gained since I started my first piano lesson at four years old, along with the real life experience I obtained as a full-time traveling musician.

I like to apply techniques from both the Orff and Kodaly teaching philosophies with younger students. Read More
