Piano Lessons in Loma Linda, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning students, I focus on building a solid foundation of vocal technique (including: breath, resonance, posture, register, and diction). We build this foundation through singing pieces that the student is familiar with and lots of vocal exercises. At the same time, I like to introduce basic music theory concepts. I typically start with Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course Theory. Upon grasping and understanding fundamentals, I will begin to introduce repertoire from different styles of music. Read More

I highly encourage all of my students to listen to the greatest players of their respective instruments. Read More

I want to develop a personal connection with each student I teach, and cooperate with whatever needs they may have. Read More
