In relation to teaching any subject area, I strongly believe that students should be taught the basics or fundamentals, and then guided and encouraged to apply and share concepts learned to various scenarios related to the subject area.

I have been offering group and private piano classes specialized in teaching beginners(both children and adults) using Mayron Cole's Piano Method for 10+ years in my home studio.

I emphasize physical relaxation and efficient movement to help students play comfortably and master technical passages. Integrating the principles of moving the wrist, arm, and elbow fluidly ahead of the hand to produce even tone and clear voicing, has helped my students overcome technical challenges with greater ease.

At my studio, I emphasize the importance of committment, determination, and excellence because not only do those apply to music in regards to practice, performance, and continual growth, but also to life's princinples. My students are encouraged to perform at recitals, enter competitions, compose their own material, and listen to other music they are interested in playing, that way they stay motivated to learn. Last, I like to reward students for their accomplishments and their progress in their musical journey to success. Read More

If you aren't enjoying my teaching then I am not doing my job correctly. Read More
