My experience in the music therapy field as well as my personal experience being homeschooled when I was young has led me to hold the philosophy that every student succeeds most in an individualized environment.

From there, I design goals that are personal to them, and design a curriculum that works for their learning style. Read More

Teaching music has always been my number one passion and lifetime goal. Playing a musical instrument (including voice) is empowering and enriches the soul.

A good practice schedule includes a warm up, technical exercises and exploring stylistic repertoire the student is interested in performing. Read More

For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales.
