All teaching methods are different which is why I prefer to stay diverse and open to the preferences of the student.

With the beginning students I use Alfred and Bastien piano instructional books. Also, the children simultaneously learn to read notes and understand music notation. In my teaching method the goal is to combine high level of technique with musicality and individual interpretation.
