I have been playing piano for more than 30 years. I understand music theory and can teach you to sight read music or to play by ear, depending on what comes most naturally to you. I can introduce you to classical works as well as more modern composition. The most important thing is that you learn to love the instrument and trust yourself to play with confidence and feeling. I am suited to work with beginners and intermediate level students.
