I love to see the progress in every class, monthly and at the end of the semester when my students perform for family and friends in Piano recitals. I love to see the progress in their confidence, the use of many strategies for solving problems, control, discipline, progress in reading music and developing perfection in all their techniques until they master. Their actitude to persist and practice until the piece is performed without mistakes. Their emotions and feelings when they play with love their music. I enjoy teaching piano lessons!
