I love watching my students develop a love of playing music. It's so much fun to learn to play and perform. I encourage hard work and preparation for recitals and concerts. I teach students how to teach themselves by use of recording themselves and to learn how to ask themselves questions and observations to make maximum progress. I personalize my lessons to the goals of the students. If a student wants to learn the "Star Wars Theme", then we work on that as well as working through their lesson books. Read More

My approach to teaching music is holistic. I believe there are 3 important components that lead to mastery of the instrument: 1. Technique, 2. Artistry, 3. Comprehension. Technique: Understanding of the body and how it works at the piano. By this, I mean how to play using the weight of the body rather than brute force. Playing the piano does not require strong muscles or physical strength. It requires an intricate and fluid motion that comes from understanding how the hands/arms are connected to the rest of the body, and how they work together to produce sound from the piano.
