About My Teaching
I am a well-established Piano Instructor, teaching piano since 1986. I teach my students in their own homes, in my home studio, as well as online through face-time or zoom. I currently use the teaching curriculum of Faber and Faber called “Piano Adventures” - Primer to Level 5 Accelerated levels for older beginners and more. I also make sure my students get a very rigorous finger and hand exercise by incorporating the “Finger Power” Series by Schaum, in which they are tested on a consistent basis for accuracy, finger dexterity, strength and speed. My preference of the starting age of a child's study of piano is age 6. They must be attentive, know their alphabet, and able to count. I’ve always enjoyed playing the piano, and try to impart this enjoyment to my students by adding supplemental music to the main curriculum. I give my students the opportunity to make their own choice on style of music, according to their liking. This includes Popular Songs, Top Hits, Classical, Movie Theme Soundtracks, Rock, Jazz and more. It’s a key priority for me to maintain that enjoyment of playing the piano for my students. I hold yearly Christmas recitals and online performances for the younger students K through 12.
