My practices educating the player are founded on building a routine that addresses the current and future demands in skills appropriate to the age, experience and goals of the player. The methodologies I prescribe as elements of a routine, come from all of my colleagues through the decades, players teachers and students alike. I will use any solution I have experienced, seen, or believe will work for the student that "adds or fits" into their approach to playing. Read More

I suggest playing for ten minutes at one time working through each exercise for those ten minutes before taking a rest for 20 minutes. Then move to the next etude or scale. Start with a consistent warm up in the middle of your range. The warm up should be the same every time wherein students can expand on their warm up on their own. This warm up is part of the first ten minutes of practice time. Read More

For beginning students, I prefer to use the Bastien piano method. This serious comes in 4 levels and is very thorough The Bastien series offers numerous books for each level in addition to the lesson book. Each level comes with a recital book, a arepertoire book, and a theory book for students to write in. The solo repertoire book is exciting because it showcases the child's ability to interpret concepts learned in the lesson book. Read More

I think an important aspect of learning any instrument (or any skill) is to have strong fundamentals. I work diligently to make sure that beginners do not unnecessarily develop bad habits and that such habits are corrected in non-beginners. When a student is not limited by technique, he or she is more easily able to communicate their musical ideas to an audience. Read More

Music is my gift. I am blessed with a natural ability which I have dedicated my life to learn, cultivate and nurture. To share this through teaching is rewarding. I teach students of all ages and levels. We have two recitals per year, which are unique and fun because of our wide variety of instruments and our group songs. My introductory lesson is full of information to build a foundation on which further knowledge can stand. Read More
