I have been teaching music since I was 16 years old and I want to share the same experiences I had as a student.

I teach combination of the Suzuki method and the Hungarian style (stressing the natural, comfortable, painless, tension free method).

I am an audiophile, so I can set up students with a quality hifi system on the cheap - this is so vital in Suzuki method, as he stated in his book, Nurtured With Love. Read More

I use my own lesson plan. I'll start with Hal Leonard for young students, and hanon's virtuoso pianist for more advanced students. I'll use theory lessons mixed with what the student actually enjoys, because it's hard to learn what you're not interested in. I'm flexible and will adapt to the student's needs. I try to find what motivates the student to play, and guide them accordingly. Overall, the main objective is to keep the student engaged and happy about their progress, because all in all, music is about fun. Read More

When learning the language of music, ultimately multiple perspectives come into play, such as history, philosophy, science and math.

I'm always pushing my students to reach for higher goals, and celebrate them when they have earned progressive developments of their abilities. Read More
