Piano Lessons in Dripping Springs, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

PIANO STUDENTS: For beginners, I prefer the Bastien series. I like a lot of variety but am very careful to not give too much at once. It is better to become excellent at each thing slowly, than try to do a lot and not be that good at any of it. I am a stickler for starting out with scales and theory right away. Understanding rhythm right  away is of utmost importance as well. Read More

My process is based on (but does not adhere strictly to) the Classical approach to Western tonal harmony and asks that the students develop certain fundamentals of technique and theory.  In my experience, this structure creates the strongest foundation for pupils to build the rest of their musical lives on, whether professionally or solely for personal enjoyment.  All of my students are on the fast track to studying music theory.

For Piano students: I teach from Faber and Faber (age appropriate volumes) and encourage a disciplined home practice routine that includes a practice log and weekly goals.

For voice students: I teach very tailored lessons to suit individual goals, even if the goal is just to sing better in the shower. Read More

The more exposure I've had to teaching, the more I have grown to love the challenge and opportunity that comes with sharing my passion for music with others.

Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More
