Introduction: I have been teaching private piano lessons for children and adults for 15 years as well as group piano classes in Loudoun and Fairfax County Public Schools for a year. During these years, I used many different methods, tailoring the lessons towards the students needs, wants, interests and capabilities. I am a strong advocate for teaching music notations but also understand that many children have difficulties with dots on five lines, so I use colors and numbers to train their eyes and help them learn songs by ear. I love to play the piano, and also love to share the joy of playing music.
