Piano Lessons Gwinnett County, GA

Instruments: Piano, Voice

For the beginning students who are children or adult beginners I typically start with the basic fundamentals. Once the student has progressed or has a grasp of the fundamentals I begin to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their first performance in front of their friends and family or a recital which they would like to perform in. I also 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. Read More

I use books recommended to me by the music stores, Opus Winds in Decatur, Ga. I also consult with other music teachers at times and shop for music that my students tell me they would like to learn. I also tell them they can shop at musicnotes.com and I will help them learn to play pieces they like.  There is something to be learned from the way any genre of music is composed. Read More

I have been teaching since high school, both piano and clarinet. I continued my instructing career in official capacities as Intermediate Clarinet Instructor at the Potomac Wind Academy and as Clarinet Instructor at Colerain High School.

In lessons, I pride myself on a proper balance of positive encouragement and personal accountability. Read More
