Piano Lessons in Middletown Township, PA

Instruments: Piano

I have taught in private studios, students' homes, and grade school and university settings. Despite the various settings, my teaching philosophy does not change. I encourage regular, consistent practice of all my students, because I want to see them achieve their goals. As much as I enjoy teaching Classical music for technique, I love working on pieces my student's want to learn - whatever the genre! Music is an art to be shared, so I encourage my students to participate in competitions and recitals. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I use my own materials and lesson plans based on my past experiences and education. For beginners, I will generally start with simple songs like Sweet Home Alabama, I Love Rock n Roll, and Heathens.

For more advanced students, I allow them to choose their own repertoire and will teach within those songs. Read More

Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, everyone needs a mentor to guide them in their art and with their gift.

Every person manifests their voice through their body, so I approach singing in the same way a Yogi would approach Yoga. Read More
