- Philosophy: Happy students who play well
Each student's curriculum is based solely on their needs and desires. After an honest discussion we set realistic goals, make a plan and start. The main question I have is: "how will we know we have succeeded?"
I help students associate piano practice with pleasure. Piano lessons are professional, supportive, enthusiastic, multi-modal, and guilt-free.

Adult education:
What happens between lessons depends on your goals, intentions, and time available. Adults lead complicated lives, for some 8 hours of practice a week is realistic, for others 8 minutes. I’m happy either way.
Children's education:
I believe a child’s love of music comes through succeeding at it. I also believe every child should experience creating excellent results. Nothing builds confidence in our personal agency than earned success through achievement.
A personal note:
My wife and I attended ballroom dance classes before Covid-19. We only practiced in class, we had fun, we were happy. Our goal was: learn to dance and have fun in a social setting is congruent with the time available.
I study drumming. I practice one-hour day or more, I’ve been at it for 10 years. I take lessons, attend workshops around the world. I’ve a burning desire to succeed. I’ve made time in my life for this level of intense work. I make music with professionals, I'm happy. I've now reached the level drumming equal to my piano skills during my college days many years ago.
