Teaching Philosophy

I believe that an effective teacher motivates their students through positivity, encouragement and constancy. With each of my students, I strive to create a safe learning environment where experimentation is acceptable and individuality is encouraged. Because everyone learns differently, I tailor my teaching style according to the student. I believe that the fundamental techniques should be incorporated into the lesson early on, regardless of age or level. I encourage even my youngest students to engage in active listening and musical awareness while maintaining accuracy in the technical areas (proper hand position, rhythmic integrity, tonal clarity, etc). I believe that solid reading skills are a necessary tool for musicians; I introduce note-reading at a young age and encourage my students to constantly reference the score when preparing a piece. As a collaborative pianist, I draw from many aspects of my own active performance experience. Incorporating breath, creating musical lines and anticipating the unpredictable are all elements of live performance that I strive to share with my students.
