About
I LOVE teaching ADULTS piano. They usually are capable of understanding the math behind the music. I'm not a good fit to teach children, but thanks for your interest.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
FIRST, I have to determine what kind of learner they are...whether they are visual, auditory, or physical learners because that helps them to learn how to play comfortably.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I taught myself...and it just isn't normally done that way so I've been told by a few famous pianists like Andre Previn and Alexander Toradze, to name a few.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $60/lesson. My lessons normally take about an hour or so, but I'm not a clock watcher.
How did you get started teaching?
It's simply my true passion in life...not in it for the money!
What types of students have you worked with?
I've taught mostly adults because I've found that most children don't have the attention span needed to learn classical music. They should be out playing with their friends anyway!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who KNOWS music and is passionate about it...without passion, you're souless.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Hmm...well how about the questions they should NOT ask their teachers like, "How long will it take to learn this piece?" or "How long should I practice?" Everyone learns differently and you're not a robot.
