Teaching style:
Students are exposed to many forms of music but I also focus on their special interests. I provide improvised accompaniment to further develop their musical "ear". Lessons are built on each students strengths whether auditory, visual or tactile. Students are encouraged to sing along with their piano music! I prefer to use the FJH (Faber) music lesson books but will work with other method books. Students work on assigned pieces, theory, technique, and fun pieces that they have chosen in any genre - Popular, Ragtime, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Folk, Spirituals, etc. Students are encouraged but not required to perform in yearly recitals.

Teaching philosophy:
"My desire is that students leave with a smile and true desire
to learn music having had an enjoyable experience that they will carry with
them forever "
Performing experience:
For five years I was in a large Christian Jazz Band called Sons of Jubal. I Have also played with small jazz groups in college. I have yearly recitals in May.

Bluegrass, Big Band, Brazilian,.... to name a few.... "
