Piano Lessons Southwest

I primarily use the Alfred, Thompson, Hannon and Dozen a Day methods. I also teach the hymns for religious students, beginning with very simplified hymns going up to the regular hymns. I also like doing duets with my students. I often let them choose the song they would like to perform for the recital. I like the Alfred series because it comes with some good lesson, recital, duet and fun song books. Read More

Perfection is not important to me. What is important is that my students strive and become the best that they can be. I want to instill in them the desire to reach their goals.

My experience with teaching began during my undergraduate studies. I have worked with students in the classroom teaching elementary music as well as at the middle school and high school level teaching choir. In addition, I have taught my closest friends in piano and organ. While I was the staff accompanist at a high school, I taught the treble choir and gave piano and voice lessons during off-periods. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching, especially when I see that students are inspired by music and are willing to take on the task of mastering their craft. Read More

Music is a language! I teach music in a similar manner as we learn to speak. We learn to speak through trial and error having no wrong words and music should be taught in a similar fashion, where there are no wrong notes. We learn our speaking style, manner and/or accents by what we hear and this concept also applies to music; therefore listening is a crucial part for advancement and the pleasure of learning. Read More
