Piano Lessons in Slippery Rock, PA

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

I approach teaching by making sure that each student is learning at their own pace and always remains passionate about music even when they struggle to achieve a certain technical skill in singing. With my students, I try to build vocal technique and performance skill at a pace that is appropriate for each student and introducing challenging skills only at a gradual pace.

I will always acknowledge students' progress, and will continue to push students to grow and develop. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums

It is very easy today to record lessons and send students home with different songs to play along to.

Also a great opportunity to show the similarities between and differences between these two events. Read More

I have been playing piano since I was 6 years old. Until very recently I have decided that I want this to become my career. I believe that there is a whole world in learning and understanding music. If people can learn its transient power it will benefit their lives! I am fortunate enough to have access to the organ as well as the piano, which I practice every day. I specifically like to improvise and get in a flow where time stops and I am fully immersed. Read More
