Clara Schumann

Whether you aspire to play Carnegie Hall or your school talent, show the experience is the same. The music speaks to you, and you make it speak to others.

It is my job to assess your ability and guide you in the proper direction using methods that are challenging, relevant, and in an enjoyable manner.

I do this by stressing the following:

Establishing proper posture and technique from the beginning, thereby preventing undersirable problems from developing later.

Custom-fitting a method and approach for each student's age and ability.

Striking a balance between material I consider necessary for the student's development and material that the student would like to learn.

Encouraging students to write their own pieces, to embellish existing ones and to have fun exploring the many possibilities that this training provides.
