About
Piano has been my passion since starting private instruction at the age of 8. I have spent over 20 years sharing that passion with students of all ages and skill levels.
Every student is a unique individual and I excel at getting to know each students needs and skills in order to create a lesson plan that focuses on you.
Are you looking to start your young beginner? Inspire a teen? Or are you an adult who wants to embrace a new challenge? – or keep up with your quickly learning youngsters? – or brush up past pianistic skills? I have successful experience with all these unique challenges and can’t wait to work with you.
Music instruction must include four basic elements in order to be considered complete
1 - Reading Music
2- Playing Music
3- Writing Music
4 - Appreciating and Enjoying Music
In order to teach these elements in a manner that will be complete as well as joyful I believe in introducing my students to music of all kinds including the classics, jazz, ragtime, ethnic & cultural selections, pop and Broadway. A balanced musical education includes playing what you love.
Basic beginner instruction (Primer levels through Level 1) includes the four elements as well as instruction in basic technique (skill) and artistry and ear training.
At level II the student will begin to be introduced to the classics. Classical instruction includes the basic musical periods: how to identify each period along with its composers, and how to play the distinctive elements of each period.
Graded method books along with student picks will be used for both beginner and intermediate levels.
