Music lessons at a glance
My teaching style is very slow and patient. I like to help the student with whatever their goals are, and even if they have no idea where to start, employing a method that has worked on myself and all my students. I use a wide variety of tools and techniques that foster creativity and make playing the piano or discovering your voice to sing fun and engaging. Learning how to read music, demonstrating proper technique and utilizing ear training exercises to develop musicianship are key components to making progress and developing practice habits. Whether learning for leisure, or getting ready for a performance or examination I strive to help students achieve their musical goals with teaching methods that have been forged through my career as a Professor of Music.
