Suzuki Piano:  also called the mother-tongue method.  The method is modeled after the way the way children learn their native language, with an emphasis on exposure to the music being learned via listening to a recording.  Note reading is not neglected, though earliest pieces are learned "by ear."  The Suzuki philosophy is "Every Child Can" (learn to play).

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, when I began teaching beginning students of all instruments 10 years ago.

I give helpful reminders of learning techniques to stay motivated in between lessons. Read More

I offer a truly bespoke approach to each student, because all students are different, and your lessons should be tailored and unique to you. My personal training in voice was a very one-size-fits-all approach--if I couldn't do something in a certain way that my instructors wanted, I would often disappoint them, or continue to run up against a brick wall in my progress. My approach with my own students is the opposite--I provide my students options in order to achieve something vocally or technically, rather than having only one option. Read More
