My teaching stlye is somewhat versatile depending on the students own personality and individual needs. I believe that all students should be self-motivated, and if they are lacking in discpline and consistency, I help them get re-centered and rouse their enthusiasm again so that they can approach practice with enthusiasm and curiosity rather then appraoching like it is a chore. I feel that learning and playing music be, mostly, intrinsically rewarding because this is how the best results are achieved. Read More

I find commonalities in their likes and relate to what we are learning. I always want my lessons to be positive and productive.

Piano has been a constant in my life. As a kid, I took piano lessons all through elementary and middle school. Competing in piano competitions and performing recitals were a huge part of my childhood.

Passion, Patience, and Encouragement. While scales, arpeggios, and technical exercises are central to every pianist's training, I'm a believer in fostering a student's love of music first and foremost.

My approach to teaching is to introduce passion for music through patience and encouragement. Through this window we'll explore the infinite landscape and, indeed, the infinite freedom music has to offer.  Read More
