My piano teaching is calculated to help students become smart musicians who know the elements of music, not just piano technicians who know the right notes. I achieve this by integrating theory into the lesson, doing sight reading, ear training, and especially by working on proper phrasing when developing technical skills. A bit of discussion about music history and the life of the composer adds to the mix. I love when a student comes to piano with a smile, plays pieces with confidence, and has a sense of accomplishment in polishing a piece. It's very rewarding for me to see a student grow and advance in the love of music, since music is such an important part of our lives.
