Instruments: Piano

Generally speaking, music is not necessary, but it is essential to have fun learning it!  Regardless of a student's reason for taking lessons, I believe in giving all students an equally high level of opportunity and guidance, and I take responsibility for ensuring they grow as a well-rounded musician.  As long as realistic goals are set, a regular practice routine can be established.  As a teacher, I enjoy seeing students develop a love for learning music.

Instruments: Piano

I began teaching as a junior in high school and have maintained a private studio in Texas for the past 6-1/2 years. I have taught beginning through advanced level students. I like to encourage creativity in the studio; I don't push every student to have the same musical experiences. With a world of performance opportunities available (festivals, competitions, recitals) I strongly encourage students to perform. I emphasize a regular practice routine for all of my studio.

I try to mix it up for my students and ask them what they like to play just to keep them interested. Read More
