If you want a teacher who will ignite a passion for music in you, and push your pianistic abilities to new heights, you have come to the right place!  As a teacher, I put my student’s enjoyment of piano first and foremost, but I will also challenge and motivate you to push yourself and expand your mind musically.  My goal is for you, or your child, to have a fun and enriching musical experience!  Be you a beginner or an advanced student, you will have a lesson infused with patience and enthusiasm, paired with my years of musical experience and knowledge.        

 

I teach mainly with a classical approach, as literature classics (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.), or pieces written in a classical style, provide an important foundation on which to build other skills.  Once a firm foundation has been established, it is easy to branch into other musical genres.  I do tailor lessons to each student’s needs and likes, and include pop and other types of non-classical repertoire, depending on the student’s preferences.  All my students learn fundamentals including scales, studies, or some form of exercises to improve technique and finger dexterity.  I emphasize playing with a fluid arm technique, letting your wrist guide your fingers, and using your arm weight to make a more resonant and beautiful sound.
