I like to set clear but realistic goals for students, so each student can learn at their own pace. I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement.

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private piano lessons part time 10 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that finding the genre the student likes can go a long way in helping them enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Teaching has been a constant for me since college (around 2005). I helped tutor both aural theory and written theory, and also helped with beginner piano classes.

I've taught students of all ages and skill levels for many years and also can provide some experience at arranging, theory, and improvisation. Read More

My goal as a teacher is to make the student an independent musician as quickly as possible. For this, I work on developing multiple musical areas, from piano skills, to aural training, theory, sight reading, and more to make the student a well rounded and competent musician. The student should expect to have weekly assignments as well as practicing 3-4 days, if a beginner, or every day for intermediate for at least 30 minutes a day. Read More
