Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I believe my overall style in teaching music comes from my love of music and desire to help others achieve their musical goals in a way that is engaging, meaningful and fun. I have always believed in adding an element of fun to lessons. My band and choir students played games, performed for younger students in surprise concerts and had karaoke parties.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.
