Composition/Theory

I began piano and composition at age six. Each student is unique and I choose the materials specifically. I have created many of the materials I use myself. I teach music theory through composition. I find great joy when able to shine a light on the imagination of a student and help them to express themselves in the language of music. Having studied many styles of piano playing from gospel to jazz I am most familiar with classical piano repertoire. Improvisation is an important part of my own professional performing experience as well as my teaching.

As a former elementary school teacher I bring knowledge of individual learning styles into my teaching. I think learning anything should be fun. I use board games, whole body movements, and music composition (at the computer) to enhance the direct learning at the piano. I'm a firm believer in teaching a wide range of knowledge about music, not just how to play the piano.
