I began teaching private piano lessons when I was a junior in college. I taught all ages including children, teenagers, and adults.

I teach students based on their own individual development and pace, but I do push them so that they can improve and become better musicians. I always schedule a recital at the end of the semester and encourage students to perform in festivals and competitions so that they have opportunities to perform. Read More

Ironically enough, some of the best lessons I ever learned in music school weren't even how to play, it was how to teach. Read More
