I specialize in teaching students of all ages, starting from the age of 5 and including adults. With my accelerated teaching method and approach, students are able to learn at a faster pace and retain information more effectively. My program operates year-round with sessions concluding with recitals where students are expected to perform at least several memorized pieces. Beginning piano students will gain knowledge of essential piano skills, including sight-reading, chord recognition, harmonization, transposition, harmonized melodies, and accompaniment. Additionally, to playing techniques, students will be given an in-depth understanding of music theory and history.
