Highly accomplished and innovative piano teacher with 30 years experience. Conservatory graduate. I teach all levels and all ages, with a specialty in adult beginners and adults returning to the piano after an absence. In addition to classical music I teach jazz & pop styles and improvisation. My approach to technique is based on solid understanding of the body (arms, hands, fingers) and not on dull repetition of mechanical exercises. I also emphasize ear training, playing by ear and harmonizing songs, learning about chords and about "how music works."
I also teach beginning teachers, or teachers wanting to improve the quality of their teaching and the ability to draw more students to their studios.
