Balance between discipline and creativity. We tend to lean towards certain musical elements at different  times of our musical developments.

There are a lot of aspects in learning to play the piano and explore music. Reading , memorizing ,hearing ,performing, composing and improvising.I try to include all of the above in the lessons but again I'm sensitive to the individual interests of each student. Read More
