Experience Summary
I have taken piano lessons from accomplished musicians since my youth and have taught for over 45 years to both beginners and advanced including youth and adults. I have worked extensively with correct fingering, all areas of music knowledge for timing, counting, expression and composers. Learning all types of music appreciation. I work with the individual for their advancement and learning skills. I prepare them for recitals and programs. I feel that a love of music is the ultimate goal and working closly with the student, that goal will be accomplished.
Teaching Style
I love seeing both youth and adults advance in their musical skills and can see the advantage young children gain with their eye/hand co-ordination and ability to quickly expand their reading and musical skills. I am patient, but require practice to advance them from level to level. I require workbooks to see how the scales work and for better performance. I strive to bring them fun in learning. Parents will find delight in seeing the advancement their child makes as they practice week to week.
Adults gain the pleasure of expanding their horizons!
