It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded.

I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More

My experience as a private instructor began as early as when I was a student in college studying music.

I've always believed that music is much more than just reading notes off a book, but have understood that music has many different dimensions, including being able to feel what you're playing, your natural music inclination, your ability to listen meticulously to your sound and your pitch and so many others.

I first always start with warm-ups. I believe warm-ups really are the building blocks of technique which is vital to learning piano, voice or any instrument under the sun. Next we look at the level or etude book if we are working with piano or instruments. These songs are short and have a mini lesson/technique hidden in them. These further build the students' ability to play more difficult pieces later. Read More
