For beginning students who are childern, I use Nancy Faber's Primer and Level One matieral.

For adult students, I work with Alfred Adult Basic Level One materials which give students a firm grasp on what it means to play the piano, technique, and theory. Read More

For adult beginners, most seem to enjoy Alfred All-in-One piano method. When teaching advanced piano students, I work with them on repertoire of their choosing and my suggestions. Read More
