I have been teaching piano lessons to beginner students to adult students in my home for six years now. Most of my students have been children ages six to thirteen; however, I have also taught adult students as well. I am also willing to travel to the student's home with in my area of Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Mt. Prospect, Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village. Combining the songs in the lesson book with popular songs, along with scales helps the student to have more fun learning to play the piano. I encourage sight reading instead of the songs always being played for the student; I felt that was a hindrance for me learning piano.

For beginner students that are younger, age 5 or 6, I will use the Faber primer lesson books. For older children, I like to use either Faber or Schaum Series music books. For adults I use either Faber or Alfred series music books. I purchase the books for the students and ask that the students reimburse me the cost of the books. I also will use various sheet music of favorite songs the student would be interested in. I play musical games with the children with flash cards and board type games. I teach lessons, theory, technique and performance.
