Teaching Approach: My teaching philosophy focuses on creating a relationship between the student and the piano that is a lifelong source of joy and discovery. I continually look for music that inspires the student at any skill level and I set small, easily achievable goals that allow the student to feel motivated by his or her own success. My goal is to guide the student on a path toward self-expression, having fun while learning, and overcoming challenges through organization and consistency.
