Philosophy

Each student is unique

Everyone has their own interests and learning styles. My goal is to provide each student with a secure understanding of music, combined with good classical technique, while keeping lessons fun and relevant to the student and their aspirations.

I enjoy helping my students discover the joy of playing the piano. Learning to play an instrument provides students with a sense of accomplishment. Music lessons also improve a student’s self-discipline, dexterity, coordination, self-esteem, thinking skills, creative abilities, and personal expression.
