I began teaching 40 years ago as a requirement of my study in Piano Performance at UCI. I have enjoyed every year of my life as a music instructor. I am a much better teacher today than I was when I began. The art of teaching never ends. Our students always have one more piece of the puzzle to fill in.

Are you tired of taking lessons from someone who doesn't fully explain what they're teaching you? They sound so cool when they play, but you walk away from the lesson feeling like you didn't really learn anything.
