I have been instructing students on piano for over 10 years and teach any age! From the elementary level to the pre-collegiate my students achieve success through a fun and personalized curriculum. I use a variety of methods and books that differ for each student and plan professional student shows that give my students a practical application to their instruction!

As an experienced and enthusiastic classical piano teacher, I provide in depth and engaging lessons for students of all ages and ability levels! I make sure that my lessons encompass all aspects of performance, from practice strategies to the concert stage, and work to help develop not an understanding and mastery of piano, but also the skill set to create the building blocks of musical creativity that leads to a lifelong relationship with the instrument and a love of music!

I am versed in all the major training methodologies from Suzuki to Alfred, but I craft my teaching to the goals and personalities of my students. I teach both my sight and by ear training--believing that they both work together.

I have been in music and dance since the age of 5, and I have had amazing experiences as a musician and fine arts educator. I teach multiple instruments, singing, dancing, and acting. I've played with Paul Simon's bass player (Bakithi Kumalo) several times where I sang, played piano, and flute.
I've been teaching for 20 years now, and I have an almost 100% success rate at keeping students for 5 years or more because I see each person as an individual and because of my extensive experience, can tailor custom lessons to achieve any goal the learner might have.

I have been teaching piano for 40 years. My teaching style is specially geared to each individual student of any age. I keep the lessons interesting and appropriate to the ability of the student. Lessons include learning correct use of posture, fingers, hands, learning to read notes, use of timing, scales, chords, discipline of practice, and the pleasure of playing the piano. Teaching piano and watching a student progress has been a passion of mine for a very long time.

I teach students with different methods, depends on their preference.
For beginners, I focus more on fundamental technique, such as the hand position, and relaxation....etc
For intermediate, I emphasize more on building their interest in different genres of music, playing various composers' music.
For advanced, I give students more tricks to improve their technique and also build up their musicality by playing more insight of the music.

Looking for a truly unique, one of a kind music experience? I tailor my lessons specifically for each student, taking into account their capabilities, learning preference and song selection. I encourage my students to play what they enjoy, and spend time looking for songs they like at their level. I frequently use games to teach certain concepts, especially to the younger students. I cover all topics including theory, technique, music history, sight reading, ear training, composing and improvising. All my past students have loved me and my lessons!
