For beginning students between ages 3 and 6 I use Progressive Piano Method for the young beginner. Older beginners are given options based on their age, ability and goals. I have testing materials available for those who are interested. When I taught international students at Brook Mays, I learned many different techniques for young beginners. Most of my students start at around 3 or 4 and stay with me all the way through advanced Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, etc. Read More

In my teaching approach, communication, respect, discipline, and perseverance are some of the most important values.

I continued private lessons and music production well into my military career (including 'down time' in Afghanistan). Read More
