Instruments: Piano
Styles: Classical, Pop, Avant-garde

I began teaching piano when my mentor gave me several opportunities to teach her students and she guided me through the art of piano pedagogy. I began teaching independently after I attended community college in order to pursue a career in music. I encountered students with a variety of learning styles, which allowed me to discover how to be flexible with my teaching style in order to fit the student's needs. I like to give students music from a variety of styles including classical, avant-garde, renaissance, pop, film/video game, jazz, blues, and latin. I make sure that music becomes an enjoyable experience!  

For children under the age of 6, I start with Music for Little Mozart, which is a fantastic introduction to music and piano playing. For children older than 6, I generally start with Bastion's Piano Basics because the music is very engaging and the music gradually increases in difficulty. I also add in music outside the method book in order to provide music that interest them and to focus on specific challenges. Older students recieve music based on their goals and personal interest, but I like to use Alfred Basic Adult Piano course to introduce them to the piano. Even though I incorporate method books, these are merely a way to provide music that grows with the student while I add in other music that is appropriate to their level.
