Maybe how you play video games can teach you something about how to practice at the piano, maybe your favorite sport can teach you something about performance anxiety, or maybe something as simple as opening a door can show you something about trill technique. After all, music is made by people, not purpose-made automatons. With this in mind, all my courses emphasize not only a comprehensive view of music, its history, and its philosophies, but also a high degree of self-reflection through which one can learn to overcome any challenges set before them.

The most important part of a music instructors' job is to instill the principle that music is FUN! I hate when I hear people say that they studied piano when they were young, but their instructor made them hate it, for one reason or another.

I feel that music study can be a great way to impart good habits of setting goals, and building and developing yourself to be something greater. Read More
