- 4 years of college music instruction
- 10 years of band & ensemble music classes
- 7 years of full-time piano teaching
- 15 years of part-time piano teaching
- Music recitals, music camps, and music performances
- Years of personal study about music pedagogy and development of my own books and materials
- Countless hours of piano playing for my own enjoyment!
What do I bring to my students?
- A unique teaching method that focuses on their interests
- A highly specialized skill that I can teach them how to achieve
- A skill that challenges the brain to multi-task in complex ways that will enhance even non-musical skills in their lives
- Techniques, tips, and tricks to make them successful at the difficult art of piano playing
- A toolbox of ways to communicate to students of all personalities, musical abilities, and interest levels
Piano Lessons are more than just a once-per-week diversion for a child.
Piano Lessons are an avenue to a valuable and rewarding life skill.
…And hopefully a lot of fun as well!
