I have been teaching piano since High School and have learned a lot since then; both in my personal studies and from my many students. Each student teaches me a new perspective on music and piano, inspiring me to further refine my craft as a teacher and player. My goal is not to make professional musicians out of my students, but rather to give them a skill they can carry and enjoy in a healthy way for the rest of their life. I hope to inspire each of them as much as they inspire me in my work.

I was trained in the Leschetizky and Schnabel methods, so those are the primary influences of my technical approach. As for method books for young students, it depends on their strengths and needs which I assess in the first lesson. From that assessment, I assign a methods book that best fits them. If none of them are satisfactory, I have a library of my own written exercises and methods that I provide for free. I try to teach as much theory as possible and stress the importance of general knowledge as well as sight reading and ear training. I believe in the necessity of singing in music, because if we can sing it, we can realize it on the piano.
