What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Students should expect every lesson to be thorough and very specific to them and their needs. Each lesson I work on previously learned concepts as well as introduce and work on new ones. We work on technique, theory, ear training, repertoire and more. I am an easy going teacher who is always available to my students. I love questions from students. It helps me know how to help you even better!
