In my experience, the love to play outweighs the need to learn. If you're not having fun you'll quit. Plain and simple. I've actually never charged anyone for lessons. In college, anytime someone close asked for lessons I was excited because I just wanted to share my passion with others. Over the years I've been mainly focused on learning, writing, and putting together successful projects. Along the way I've taught neighbors, friends and family, kids, bandmates and soon, my daughter.

For my beginner students, who are younger, I start off with the Faber series in the Primer levels. After progressing through the first few levels of the series, I then start to introduce solo repertoire depending on the interests of the student. For my older students, we also go through the Faber Adult Piano Adventures book, where we learn the basics of piano along with some fun pieces. I teach more information outside of the book which is not taught until later to get ahead. Read More

For beginner piano students, I have two methods books that I use. For young children, I use the Bastion Piano Basics series. It is colorful, fun, and exciting for young learners. It is also very informative, so parents can help their young ones practice if they need the help! For beginning adult students, I use the Faber Adult Piano Adventures series, as this is more tailored to older students. It is less focused on colorful visuals, and uses language geared toward older learners. Read More
