To me, the most important thing a student can gain from piano lessons is a love for music. I know each individual progresses at different speeds, and I try to be realistic about what they can do with their present abilities. I am big on positive feedback, for I feel most people learn better with a greater amount of compliments than criticism. I do use constructive criticism, but first I always give an uplifting comment.

It is my belief that a teacher must be adaptive in order to create a positive experience for each student. For this reason, along with the lesson books, I prefer to help the student learn about what genre of music they are the most interested in.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start out with the Faber method books. Once they begin to grasp the fundamentals, I begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their interest and skill level. For adults, I cater my instruction and choice of repertoire to their interests and ability, creating engaging, satisfying, and enjoyable lessons for students of any skill level. I typically introduce theory concepts early on, giving the student the musical foundation they need to learn and create independently. Read More

I enjoy celebrating success. I feel that it is important to let the student set the pace and then encourage from there. Read More
