Good fundamentals are very important - developing good singing habits while getting rid of bad ones is key to consistent improvement. I believe that as a teacher, the best thing I can do for a student is to give them the tools to succeed outside of the lesson. We also spend time practicing musicianship skills, which means time spent on ear-training and learning to read music. Read More

Utilization of Technology: I incorporate digital tools and software for learning and practicing piano, including interactive apps for sight-reading, theory drills, and virtual keyboard tutorials.
