Teaching Philosophy and Practices:
It's always a good time to begin or resume piano lessons!
Most people come into this world with musical aptitude,
ability, and interest. Without exposure, education, and
training, however, the ability to expand on innate aptitude
and interest tends to wane or be set aside for more
immediate concerns. Good music teachers understand and
encourage students, no matter their ages, stages, or
individual learning styles.
I strive to help my students enjoy the process of
understanding and making music. Various components of the
body - ears, eyes, voice, brain, limbs, and digits - all
work together to foster music-making, and lessons need to
incorporate activities that develop this synergy. Thus,
lessons often include such activities as ear training,
theory, history, sight reading, technique, and repertoire.
