Piano Lessons in Whites Creek, TN

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Synthesizer Keyboard

I love watching my students develop a love of playing music. It's so much fun to learn to play and perform. I encourage hard work and preparation for recitals and concerts. I teach students how to teach themselves by use of recording themselves and to learn how to ask themselves questions and observations to make maximum progress. I personalize my lessons to the goals of the students. If a student wants to learn the "Star Wars Theme", then we work on that as well as working through their lesson books. Read More

I was introduced as a 6 year old into the Thompson and Diller Quayle methods via my classical piano instructor who was a college professor at Lewis Clark College in Portland, Oregon. My jazz instruction took me through the Michael Aaron method and the Mikrokosmos. At Instrumental Music in Los Angeles we favored the Bastien and Alfred methods, and since moving here to Nashville I have added the Faber Faber method and the brand new Helen Marlais system to my repertoire.

I am also looking to work with beginners on the instrument of voice and/or piano. I remember distinctly being facsinated with my vocal chords at a very early age. What am I doing? How can I sing that one low note? Why does it sound weird when I sing this way? Or at this time of day? Will I ever be able to belt that Eb!? I love discovering these new things with beginners and showing them the steps to exercise their curiosity in an effective way. Read More
