Philosophy: Happy students who play well

Connecting the heart with the hands, ears, eyes, and intellect. 

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. I help students associate piano practice with pleasure. Piano lessons are professional, supportive, enthusiastic, and guilt-free. 

Success at the piano has much in common with many other high-level activities. That is, skill takes time, therefore patience is a virtue. And, champions have coaches, they seek feedback.

​Most of us however are impatient to one degree or another. What to do? Here is one idea you may find helpful.
Seek out others on the same path. Think of adult sport enthusiasts. They don’t just kick the soccer ball around the back yard, they join a team, with a coach, make a commitment of time and shoes and get to it.
Our adult piano students are offered multiple opportunities to perform for each other and chat about the experience afterwards. We have recitals for the classical players, jam sessions for the jazz students, assessments, and for some brave souls, exams . All these activities are optional. They are fun, they are guaranteed to be exciting.
