Working with Students
-
Music lessons are a great way to nurture a happy and intelligent child. Piano and voice instruction also helps kids develop well-rounded musical skills that can last a lifetime, including note reading, keyboard and vocal technique, rhythmic aptitude, and practicing and listening skills.
And, it’s really fun! Lots of great songs and musical games are included in every lesson.
-
Lessons are offered for both adult beginners and intermediate / advanced students who wish to rekindle or develop their skills. Lessons are designed with the particular interests and needs of each individual in mind. I will craft a curriculum that takes into account the level at which you play or sing, your personal musical interests and the amount of time you have available to devote to practice.
