I have a BA from SJSU in 1982 and have studied with about 5 different teachers for over 17 years. I have entered students in CM program and Nationat Guild Auditions. My students have performed in Church, at graduations, weddings, funerals and school musicals.

It is a great joy to be able to share what I care about.

I highly recommend Patricia as your private piano teacher. She is patient and tailors the lesson according to your ability. I am an adult student and I can see myself improve a lot while taking lessons from her. Also, remember whoever the teacher, your practise and dedication is the key

Frequently asked questions

Number one is patience and listening to how best  teach each individual.  I give an outline with each lesson as to what is to be worked on each week which includes theory, technic at all lessons including flash cards with beginners.  I give pointers on how to practice and problem shooting as well as how much time to spend practicing.

In addition yo my performance classes and other music classes at SJSU I have had about 8 years of private study in pedagogy.

I charge $30 for the 30 minute lesson and $45 for the 45 minute lesson.  The tuition is payable by the month and is prorated for 44 lessons in a 12 month period.  Therefore the monthly fee is stable.  

I began study of piano at the age of 6 and participated in many recitals for about 8 years.  Later after my family was school age I went back to study piano and began college.

Bright and not so bright and handicapped.  Young as 5 and old as 65+.   I have had many challenges but always stay with them until they learn.  It is rewarding for me.

When a student I will call A went to auditions and earned herself an A+.  She is mid intermediate and had a program of 4 pieces and a musicianship phase of all the minor scales.

Go to the MTAC website if I cannot take them due to time constraints.

What their goals are.  How much time are they willing to give to this persuit.
