PIANO STUDENTS: For beginners, I prefer the Bastien series. I like a lot of variety but am very careful to not give too much at once. It is better to become excellent at each thing slowly, than try to do a lot and not be that good at any of it. I am a stickler for starting out with scales and theory right away. Understanding rhythm right  away is of utmost importance as well. Read More

Some singers find vocal balance easily while it may take other singers some time depending old habits that need to be broken. Read More

Through this experience I've acquired a broad understanding of the various ways in which people learn and relate to music. Read More
