For beginning students I use the Bastien System. For Adults, I use The Alfred Adult beginner for Piano Lessons.

I sometimes use the Trinity College of Music, london, syllabus. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More

At my studio, I emphasize the importance of committment, determination, and excellence because not only do those apply to music in regards to practice, performance, and continual growth, but also to life's princinples.

Last, I like to reward students for their accomplishments and their progress in their musical journey to success. Read More

I also introduce chords playing for contemporary/praise music when the student is ready. Read More

We will then work on repetroire focusing on what the student would sing at a recital performance. Read More
