That is my #1 priority. I emphasize improvisation the most for all my students so they are able to express themselves freely on their instrument!

I possess excellent communication skills, that is to say, I listen well to my students before I speak. My students are free and encouraged to express their goals and they become comfortable doing so.

I always use easy to understand and practical piano books chosen based on the student's experience, age, and goals. Read More
