As a Teacher

I emphasize the balance of quality technical facility at the keyboard with a developed ear that can recreate and embellish any tune you hear.

Students of any age and experience can learn to sit down at the piano and pick out the melody and accompaniment to an earworm. Doing this without YouTube tutorials will lead to a more fulfilling process and a more impressive product.

Coupling this with a strong foundation in classical technique and repertoire will lead to a lifetime of musical enjoyment and creativity. 

By lesson’s end, all students will have the skills to play for fun (with good technique) without a teacher or video personality walking them through new music.

Children and adults alike can improve the attention and speed at which they pick up new skills in all areas through lessons with a practiced teacher.
