Instruments: Piano

Though I have plenty of experience as a pianist I'm relatively new to the field of teaching. I have have several piano teachers throughout my life whose methodology I can draw from as experience. My experience with the various teachers I've had in my life has taught me one important lesson. Always pace yourself and never get too big for your boots. The basics or the fundamentals are just as important if not more so than mere virtuosity on your instrument. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My experience in teaching has been mainly focused on voluntary work, in teaching close friends, family and friends. I have always wanted to teach the joys of Classical Music to all ages. I have encouraged those of my teaching, to always have a consistency and regular practice so that with patience and time, they will see not only improvement but will also developed a passion for the instrument. I think that the key to becoming a piano virtuoso is having fun while learning, being patient, determined, persistent, and consistent. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded. While piano instruction is certainly central to each lesson, I also spend time teaching music theory and ear training. I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Since I teach people of all ages, I have learned that I cannot simply follow one type of lesson structure.  During my lessons I learn about not just the talent a person has but also about the person themselves.  Therefore, each lesson plan is tailored specific to that individual. The individual helps us to find the appropriate balance in our teaching method. When that balance has been obtained, only then can the student reach their fullest potential. Read More
