I have a special place in my heart for beginning piano students. I treat them more like a grandchild than as a strict classical instructor would. I have eliminated the pressure to learn wherever possible. From the first day, my students learn to read basic music. The lessons I create are customized based on my student's interests, strengths and ability to learn. Each child is unique.

In my lessons I really listen to my students especially when it comes to the type of music that they want to learn. Many times they will bring ideas to me that they have heard or seen. I do insist on reading and using the music as a tool to improve on sight reading, rhythm and other basic studies of music. I try to make it enjoyable and fun and not a stressful experience.

Virtual piano lessons with an experienced, trained teacher! I use an interactive piano method that combines a lesson book with corresponding online materials, downloadable PDFs and mp3 accompaniments. Every lesson is about the student and I meet them where they are at and go from there. Every lesson counts and includes creativity (style and composition), thought (music theory) and context (music history). Although I specialize in children, ages 6-12, and in classical training and church worship music, I am always able to accommodate a special project piece of your student's interest. Music can make your whole child excel in many areas of their life!
