TEACHING Philosophy
My goal as an educator is to instill a love for music and to help students develop the necessary skills and knowledge needed to be able to interpret and perform piano repertoire. Even if a student does not intend on becoming a professional musician, it is my hope that they will derive joy from being able to play music and that the skills obtained from learning an instrument will carry over into other aspects of their lives. Playing music requires us to be creative and use our imaginations. It teaches us to listen, to communicate clearly, to problem solve, to set goals and to follow through with discipline to achieve those goals. All of this together brings us a sense of fulfillment.
PIANO LESSONS
In lessons, I work with each student individually, helping them set achievable goals and realize their potential. I incorporate music theory and music history to help students understand the music they are playing beyond just the notes. Because music is a performing art, I teach students how to prepare themselves well for performances so they are confident and ready to play in front of an audience. Every student is encouraged to perform in bi-annual studio recitals as well as in studio classes and other performance opportunities.
