Piano Lessons For children and adults
Teaching Philosophy
Each piano lesson is different and planned individually.
I like to build a broad range of skills, especially for beginners, so students can then play the music they love or are curious about.
Setting individual goals like learning to read music, planning performance opportunities together is a big part of what I do. It might be a five-year-old working toward their first performance, or an adult finally learning the piece they’ve always wanted to play.
Relaxed & Friendly
