MY APPROACH TO TEACHING

I teach children, teens, and adults at all levels in both private and group lessons.  My focus is on teaching proper technique, playing pieces that are enjoyable, and cultivating a caring relationship with my students. I provide group experiences as soon as my students reach a level where they can play with others.
