As a music educator in private lessons and classroom environments, I successfully help my students become better musicians, not only adding to their ability to perform, but also deepening the theoretical and historical understanding of their instrument. I work with children of all ages with all levels of ability to develop self-discipline and inspiration to reach new heights in harnessing their craft.

For beginning students, I like to start them on the Hal Leonard Essential Elements. I believe it moves at the proper pacing for young children. For intermediate students, Accent on Achievement works well because I find the music is more challenging.

It is from there that I gradually add a new scale (one every few weeks) until ultimately all 12 major scales are learned. Read More

My teaching style is seasoned but spontaneous. By that I mean that at this point I have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. I have a proven repertoire of exercises and advice that have helped students and will continue to do so.

For my beginner piano students, I like to use the Faber Piano Adventures books to help my students learn the basics of reading music. I then like to guide them towards a more wholistic approach to music focusing on learning harmony and melody through the use of lead sheets.
