My students receive comprehensive music instruction, including repertoire, ear-training, sight-playing, technique, music theory, improvisation, ensemble skills, performance practices, and composition. Lessons are tailored to the student's individual learning pace and interests. Students set short-term and long-term music goals each year, and are encouraged to participate in Guild Auditions held in May.

The six days between lessons are extremely important for progress at the piano, so a portion of each lesson is also devoted to teaching the student how to practice, using an effective practice system designed by the instructor. Students who learn good practice techniques and habits have a much better chance of becoming independent learners.
