Music Lessons in El Mirage, AZ

Instruments: Piano

Everything about my teaching stems from a love of music and imparting that love into the students I am working with. Piano lessons should be about the student (at any level) forming a healthy relationship with the piano. As such, my mission is to create musicians that perform with Honesty and Clarity. Clarity forms all the "technical" aspects of making music at piano, while Honesty is about getting in touch with how we are personally developing as musicians and how we can be mentally present with the music we are creating--and not trying to be anyone else besides are true selves.

I watch the student's progress very carefully and acknowledge accomplishments because this creates enthusiasm and further development. Read More
