With a lot of my piano ability I have taught myself and typically amaze people when playing a song. Not that I'm any better than anyone else but the gift that I have is something very precious. Therefore I love sharing this gift with others. I have been teaching for nearly a year now and have been very successful at it. I have students ranging from 5 years old to 55. I teach from primary theory books and also teach to play by ear. Read More

I used other activities such as walking, running, dancing, and boxing to demonstrate performance techniques and to make students understand the importance of natural gesture, inertia, and relaxation. I provided students with a "Good Sound" repertoire that spanned different levels of difficulty and incorporated folk, popular, jazz, and traditional classical music to match their needs and interests. I organized regular recitals to encourage students' daily practice and nurture their public performance skills to overcome stage fright. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Piano lessons OR Teaching Little fingers to play.

I also try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

For adult beginners, I typically begin with Alfred's Adult All in One Course because I find it is the most flexible for adult learning styles. Read More
