Teaching Philosophy
My objective as a piano teacher is to lay the foundation for life-long musicianship by helping each student develop the skills necessary for success. It is my belief that developing strong technique and excellent sight-reading skills sets the stage for a fulfilling, lifetime relationship with music. Although my program is individually tailored to each student, in every case it includes the necessary components of technique, sight-reading, theory, balanced repertoire, and performance skills/techniques. Studio performance classes provide opportunity for students to gain poise and confidence in a safe, supportive environment. My goal is to provide an enjoyable learning environment for students of all ages, abilities, and levels of advancement without compromising the highest professional standard of piano performance.
