Learning Piano Is More Than Music

The study of a musical instrument fosters a lifelong skill, appreciation, and understanding of music. Besides the joy that comes with progress on one's instrument is the added benefit of intellectual and creative growth, self-discipline, poise, and confidence.                                         
   
          

A Comprehensive Method Is Important

My goal as a piano instructor is to inspire my students to love music and to develop their potential at the piano through the study of primarily classical music (as well as other styles), technique, theory, sight-reading, ear-training, memorization, and performance. Playing by ear, composing, ensemble playing, and accompanying are also encouraged.
         
        

Unlock Your Natural Musical Talent

I have taught students of all ages and levels for over 26 years. I have seen my students' musical abilities blossom as their inner talent is encouraged, often for the first time. I have found that a partnership between the student, parents, and teacher is essential for success. I love teaching and am committed to my students' musical growth.

 

Develop Piano Mastery

My teaching style reflects my experience as a performer. I am able to share with my students the path to proficient piano playing and "short cuts" for efficient learning based on real life experience. I encourage them to share their polished music, whether for family and friends, at retirement homes, for competitions and festivals, or their own recital.
 
 

I look forward to sharing with you the gift that lasts a lifetime!
