Instruments: Piano, Voice, Flute
Styles: Classical

I have been teaching private piano for two years and am excited to continue working with students in the area.  I encourage regular practice for all students and use a variety of music to help students develop their technique. I want to help students enjoy music, gain skills, and express themselves through their instrument.  Fostering life-long learning and musicianship is important in my studio! 

Depending on the instrument and age, students will start with books that make learning fun and easy to understand.  For older learners and adults, I would work from their interests and go from there.  For piano, I prefer Faber. In addition to materials that build skill, students would have the opportunity to play solo pieces and chose popular songs to add to their lessons.   When I work with students learning flute I may help them work through the books their school recommends and then suggest appropriate additions as they add skill.   For students studying voice, I would suggest age and style appropriate songs based on interest and style preferences.
