Music has to be fun and rewarding for the students.  I find that associating music with nature and art and their social experiences allows the students to enjoy learning the piano from the very first lesson.  I cannot use one method for all students.  I identify the goals, experience and personality of the students and develop a method that is effective for each one.

My teaching style, particularly with my younger students, is to combine yoga-like breathing and proper posture to develop their voice naturally.

I like to teach voice in a free, forgiving environment where mistakes are encouraged. Read More
