I am PASSIONATE about teaching piano!! Teaching adults and children feeds my soul.
I have over 25 years of teaching ages 6-adult. My training is classical. I studied at the Detroit Institute of Musical Art. But I love teaching modern music too.
I am a teacher FIRST, and a pianist SECOND.
I am constantly growing and expanding my skills. The developmental approach of Ann Arbor's own Faber & Faber, and Jennifer Eklund's Piano Pronto method have proven to be inspiring and efficient. And now these methods have their own apps for the IPAD , adding a new dimension to practicing. I am also working on my certification to be a Royal Conservatory of Music Certified Teacher!!!
My mission is to help my students succeed at their goals; whether to play just for themselves or to perform. I cover all the basics: theory, chords/playing from a lead-sheet, technique, and smart physical movement. I teach the STUDENT...and the student teaches their HANDS! We work SMART and have FUN too.
Playing piano is NOT BRAIN SURGERY.
IT'S FUN with the right teacher.
