Selecting songs for your skill level and interest is important. Playing music you love will make your experience more enjoyable

My approach to teaching piano is simple and flexible. I work with the unique learning styles, interests, and goals of each student. If you’re a beginner, I’ll get you started quickly with the basic skills. From there, we’ll explore new music, building your skills along the way. We’ll follow a method book and supplement with other music as well as scales, ear training, theory, performance skills, and more. I’ll be attentive to your needs and interests, and am always open to suggestions.

My lessons are geared toward the individual student. I spend the first lesson getting to know the student's strengths and weaknesses, history, hobbies, and general feelings about music. This helps me to better understand what the student (or parent) is hoping to gain from taking piano lessons. My lessons are meant to produce the best possible success, and most importantly, a great time and a permanent love of music.

I started piano at 4 and never looked back. I am well versed in everything from early note reading, to late romantic sonatas, jazz standards and improvisation. Whatever level you're at, I can help.
