I prefer teaching Suzuki Method to young students, especially beginners. Most students learn the basics of good technique and musicality very quickly with this method. I teach reading skills very early in the program if the student is ready. To learn more about the Suzuki Method, click on the links below. I teach a broad repertoire of classics by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Clementi, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Kabelevsky, Debussy and others. I teach technique, theory, performance skills, good practice habits, memorization skills, and historical background. During the lesson the focus is on playing the piano and students are encouraged to learn theory and music history in greater depth .
