I normally start out with the Faber and Faber Piano Adventures methods books for the piano students. This includes a lesson book and a theory book.

These two methods work very well together to give the student a comprehensive experience with the piano. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs; in those exact words and none less. Read More
