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 my classical students I'll typically start with art song repertoire and for musical theatre I'll choose a classic piece. Read More
