Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

I've noticed over the years that the age old "book-first-music-later" approach to teaching can actually stifle the creative spirit in young students and hinder their growth or even discourage them all together and as a result they lose interest and move on.

If they are having fun, it makes meeting those goals easier. Read More
