Piano Lessons in Springboro, OH

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Music Keyboard

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for violin students and piano adventures for piano students. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. During the lessons, I'll also let them come up with their own music or I'll play a duet with students. That way they're not only learning the instruments as well as being creative. Read More

I have fairly casual lessons. I want my students to have fun while still making meaningful progress. I don't turn pages just to turn pages. If there is confusion on a song, we review it for a few weeks. I also like for parents to take a hands-off approach. I feel it is not their job to teach their children piano, and what they say may confilct with what I say. Read More

I find teaching very rewarding. The benefits of studying music are now well documented. It is amazing to see my younger students begin to excel in other areas of studies.

I have been able to bring students of all ages and levels of music and learning ability forward. Read More
