For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves sharing my love of music. I have been teaching piano for more than 20 years and I have a weekly music group for young children.

By allowing the students to choose their own material, they are much more likely to self motivate! Read More

The teacher's role is to guide, correct and instruct the student on what to do at home to truly become a musician. Read More
