I teach serious students, who want to participate in the MTAC Certificate of Merit program. This requires a commitment from the students to prepare performance pieces, complete theory and sight reading assignments, as well as ear training. My studio has several on sight recitals annually, as well as performance opportunities at other venues, recitals and festivals.
