One of his most outstanding teaching features is that he has an entirely unique approach to ear training (playing by ear). He creates customized playing-by-ear, step-by-step, walk-through recordings--which he professionally produces in his home studio.
These recordings break down a piece in such a way which allows a student to learn how to recognize intervals, chords, chord inversions, melodic lines, and more.
I cannot emphasize enough the (often under-appreciated) value of such ear training for students at all levels.

About Roxanne S.
Close I have been playing the piano since I was 5. I could write a song everyday. I find that it's a beautiful God given gift and I love to find the composer in my students. I was therefore inspired to name my business " Play From The Heart". So if there is a natural writer out there I want to discover them and teach them to read and write their own music while enjoying other artist as well. 🎼🎹

You can always tell how much she loves the piano while she plays it. What I love about Roxanne is that she brings you out of your comfort zone. It can be a little intimidating learning something new, especially for younger ones, but Roxanne really gives them the confidence they need to just do it! Plus, she’s lots of fun which makes learning something new easier and enjoyable.
