I offer beginning piano lessons to either children or adults who are very interested in learning how to read music and begin to work on piano! My lessons will be optimum for someone who has never taken piano before.

I have been teaching piano in the Seattle area for close to ten years. I have worked with young beginners to intermediate and some advanced students. My methods are eclectic and I often draw from the Kodaly Method for beginners. I encourage my students to sing along while they play to reinforce learning, accessing multiple neural pathways.

I teach my students to read music and play with feeling and heart. I instill a love of music in my students by creating musical moments in them and expose them to a wide variety of genres and styles. Students will learn basic technique, theory, improvisation, and performance etiquette, all while having fun!

I am able to teach many music theory fundamentals using the piano. I can also teach lead sheets for those who want to learn praise and worship music.

I started teaching Piano in 2008 and have worked with over 100 students of all ages. I offer lessons from 2 studios located in Tulsa and Broken Arrow. To help students become well rounded musicians I teach from a variety of books and programs by companies like Alfred, KJOS, Hal Leonard, song books, to individual pieces from music notes. I also create, print, and email custom lessons created on a program in my Mac.
I use Yamaha and Korg digital pianos and JBL speakers.
It usually takes around 2 - 3 months for a beginner to get up to speed and start playing full songs. It's my goal to help each student become the musician they desire to be. My philosophy is to teach my students to be smart musicians. It does you no good if you can play a song but don't know what you are actually doing. So, I teach students to be smart musicians in case they decide to write their own music or join a band.
I have not won a Grammy yet, but I have had people use my bands demo music in some commercial ...
