Teaching Philosophy

It is my aim that every student finds an invaluable resource in these lessons and that they serve as one of many guideposts on their journey to…

  1. Unearth and hone the instruments of self-exploration, self-expression, and ultimately self-realization at the piano

  2. Come to love the process of mastering the craft as well as the craft itself

  3. Mature in their understanding of what it means to have a musical vision, and how to self-generate motivation to make that vision a reality,

  4. Discover and sculpt their self-esteem, inner strength, and identity in part through the forging of a skill with their own two hands, and in so doing,

  5. Cultivate an intimate, lifelong love and appreciation of music.
