I enjoy teaching my students helpful ways to think about music, as opposed to just teaching them to execute the right notes. For example I might say "play the piano like you sing, and sing as if you are telling a story!" This is an important part of my teaching philosophy. I have students auditioned for America's Got Talent, the Disney Channel and the Met Opera Children Chorus *** Studio Equipment *** Living Room: baby grand, music stand, couch, chairs, parents can sit in on lesson *** Travel Equipment *** My students need a piano or an eighty-eight weighted electronic keyboard *** Specialties *** Classical Piano Ear Training Music Theory Vocal Coach Vocal Technique Stage Presentation Audition Preparation
