My teaching experience spans over the course of the past 5 years, as I began teaching when I was in college, and since then have branched out to teaching students of all ages in both my recording studio and church.  I encourage students to practice on a regular basis, especially with the younger students, as it aids in the student's progress, growth and passion for playing the piano.  My job is to ensure that the lesson is an experience that is rewarding, memorable and most of all, fun.  As students progress, I encourage students to "personalize" the fundamentals learned by composing their own original work.  This provides the student, not only a sense of accomplishment, but a tangible way to recognize their progress and growth, as well as a way to stay motivated to learn.

For all students, I like to begin teaching using the Alfred Piano Method Books.  These series provide site reading and music theory for all levels of experience and ages.  Depending on each students progress and grasp of the fundamentals, as well as the more advanced students, I will tailor the lessons based on each individual's interest, such as learning various styles of music.
