Teacher expertise and credentials
Massachusetts Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Master's Degree from Adams State University
With over a decade of experience teaching thousands of lessons on many instruments, I've found that learning the fundamentals of piano at an early age can encourage a student toward a lifetime of joyous music learning. I have taught hundreds of beginners on piano, many of whom have become excellent intermediate/advanced pianists, while others have taken their piano knowledge to the guitar, sax, drums, bass, voice, etc.
My approach focuses on fun and flexibility while repeating the basics until they're second nature. I tailor my approach to the skills, interests, and personality of each student, helping them to find their own unique voice on the piano.
