Welcome to my Piano Studio!Finally after 2 years of virtual recitals during the pandemic, we celebrate our first live recital!

Teaching Philosophy 

My studio is based on traditional piano instruction that emphasizes conceptual learning of skills as well as repertoire playing.  I strongly believe in teaching students to become well-rounded musicians, which involves developing strong theory, rhythm, aural, and sight playing skills, as well as developing good technical fluency and musical expression that will enable students to play with confidence and beauty.  

With this approach, beginning students progress slowly with emphasis on reinforcement of each acquired skill in order to master concepts as they go along.  Once students have achieved the rudimentary skills necessary at the elementary level, progress is quicker and more apparent.
