If they are interested in musical theater, I will make sure they are equipped to accompany or music direct any production they would like. I place a large emphasis on ear training and sight reading and guide my students through those fields so that they can be successful. Read More

Apart from treating time as the precious resource it is (meaning I will give your time the utmost respect and expect the same from you) . . . my style is friendly, patient, and "open" to an extreme. If you have particular goals, communicate them to me, and I will teach you everything relevant to them. If you don't, I will help you identify your goals. If you want to remain "goal-free" (for example, because you used to have some forceful teacher, punishing you for your "lack of dedication" or the like), I have a blast simply looking into facets of music with a curious student.

Music has been my passion from a very early age. I have learned through my years as an educator that sharing this passion with others is just as rewarding as personal experience or success. I greatly enjoy performing as much as I can myself but helping students achieve their own personal musical goals has become one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I look forward to meeting new students and learning about their passions and goals so that I can help them find the most rewarding path possible! Read More

I have been playing the piano almost all my life. The passion I have for music of all kinds is contagious.

I love to share with my students the marvels that are found in music, from the composers to their individual styles, to enjoying improvisation and multi-piano/hands arrangements. Read More

My approach to teaching piano centers around making the material accessible and easy to understand. This can involve using a variety of techniques such as breaking down complex concepts into smaller pieces, using analogies, and providing practical examples to illustrate the material. I also believe that it's important to encourage students to actively participate in their own learning process. This can include asking questions, practicing techniques, and engaging in creative problem-solving exercises. Read More
