My teaching style is adaptive to the students goals! I am a fairly easy going teacher that will help meet students where they are at, and walk with them on their growth journey. We will progress at the student's personal pace. My style can range from working casually on a new song each week, trying to perfect that concerto you have been working on, helping pre-professionals get to the musical level they need to achieve to become a professional themselves, or somewhere in the middle!

This method is especially helpful when I am teaching very young beginning students. I thrive teaching children between 6-9. I emphasize consistent good practice for a short period of time. I encourage my students to fit their practice in transitional times. Practice after dinner, practice before your homework, etc. for 5-10 minutes. It is consistent good practice that allows you to progress faster rather than long unfocused work. I find my students love this idea and it gives them proper freedom in their practice. Read More

I usually use the Piano Adventure series of books for beginning students, since they have a diverse selection of pieces and do an excellent job of introducing funadmentals in a gradual and easy-to-grasp manner.  I work on hand coordination and positioning separately to avoid having to fix bad habits later on.  One of the most important aspects of my teaching is that I teach students to play music that they are interested in, often by writing arrangements of music that they are familiar with.  Keeping my students motivated is one of my top concerns, and I do everything I can to make sure they enjoy each new piece or look and forward to the next recital.

I have been teaching for forty years. I started when I was in high school and my first student was dad's mechanic's son. He was four years old. About two years ago he found me on facebook and it's a good feeling to know he plays professionally in a Metal Band! I've taught in every city that I have lived in and varied ages and levels from beginner to advanced students that play professionally but wanted to learn jazz for instance. Read More

My teaching experience began in a pedagogy class in college. I was not a music education major, so I thought I wouldn't make a good teacher. What I discovered through my teaching experiences was, however, that I really enjoyed getting to know my students and watching them grow in knowledge and passion for music. I've found that when I both listen to my student's wants and needs AND challenge them with new and different things, they really thrive and actually enjoy their time with me! Read More
