I'm inviting everyone to experience what great fun music can be. The secret to my success is to make lessons rewarding and educational. My entire teaching philosophy is that of fun. Music theory and music literacy is a priority. My enthusiasm and dedication to training the musicians of tomorrow is evident in my teaching. I believe that music should be a pleasurable, positive experience to boost self-esteem. With the convenience of me coming in to your home, this will give you an emotional outlet as only music can do.

I still believe in a balance of things, even in serious competition preparation (which is more difficult than just the music practicing). I try to follow any class materials first, unless the student doesn't participate in one (like at a school); and then I (usually) recommend Essential Elements to start with. I don't want to merely be the entertainment once a week, I want to help students do their own homework to achieve success. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the lesson books you or I provide, preferably Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I 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

This is where I think it is fun to be creative because we are all different. Everybody has a different method of interpretation and I feel like that is my job to figure out what works for you as an individual. For example I will simply ask you questions like what style of music are you listening to and songs you want to learn how to play. It is also my job to know the difficulty level and how to guide you in the right direction to keep things fun! Read More
