I started teaching at the prep department of the conservatory in 1992, and have been teaching ever since. I teach all levels - from beginners to intermediate to advanced students at the university level. Regular practicing is essential in retaining progress. I give my students a combination of classical and popular repertoire to expose them to many different styles. If they are interested in composing their own music, I definitely will help with that as well! Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student develop a passion for music; a student who practices and looks forward to coming to music lessons is a joy to teach.

I strive to develop a customized learning approach for each of my students, depending on their needs and goals. I implement a combination of the Faber method, Alfred method, and compilations of works by talented piano pedagogs such as Keith Snell, Martha Ashleigh, Ingrid Jacobson Clarfield, Melody Bober, and Julie McIntosh Johnson. I have found that by using a combination of these resources I am able to focus on all eras of music history and style, as well as cover all bases of theory fundamentals. Read More

For young beginners I start with a wonderful method book called "Progressive Piano method for young beginners". It begins with note reading which I feel is one of the most important parts of beginner piano playing. The book includes a play-along cd that I use for rhythm practice during lessons to clap and count, because having a steady rhythm is the second most important aspect of playing the piano. Lessons include a mixture of reading and playing music from the book, clapping and counting, flashcards, and musical games. Read More

And as always, I encourage all of my students to bring in music they enjoy, so that we can work on learning it together. Read More
