My teaching style tends to adapt to the particular student. Nobody likes someone who comes on too strong or is completely set in their ways. I want to get to know you!

I love teaching kids and adults piano and music theory . I do my best to be a fun, different and enjoyable lesson every time. I am flexible to teach the students in there home, virtual or in my piano studio. I am offering performances every 6 months .The live performance is very important, because it develops self-confidents in the student and motivates her/him to practice more and becoming better and better every time .

If a student is not encouraged to try other things, most of the time they will not. Music is a way of life; it can form us into who we are, if studied regularly from an early age. If a teacher is able to develop a student's interest in   music from an early stage, the student will find that the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional rewards of such passion for music are endless.

I like to begin the first lesson by recognizing the students strengths by having them show me what they can accomplish on their own. There are specific books that I like to teach out of depending on the skill level so that needs to be addressed during the first lesson. Recognizing and building on strengths to me should come before criticising weaknesses. Those will be addressed as they come along and exercises with scales and etudes will be chosen for those weaknesses, but that does not mean that challenging music needs to be played each and every time so that the student has to struggle for greatness.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Method and playing by ear. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire on sheet music appropriate for their level of performance. It is important to stress the fundamentals of technique for my beginner students before just playing music. I like to incorporate music theory within their lessons, so not only are they able to hear a piece of music and can start playing but can also read sheet music that is put in front of them.

I assess the student's long-term goals in learning the trombone and then set a reasonable series of smaller goals based on their progress. A student can move as quickly as they like as long as they put in the work to advance. Read More
