I have been a private music instructor in the area for 32 years. I teach students of all ages. I teach many home school children,school children and adults. My piano students participate in the local competitions and have played for different composers. I give 2 recitals a year to help encourage public performance and stage presence. I have played in church, in recitals, for history events in old time music, Irish fiddling with a local group of musicians and at weddings and various programs. I encourage my students to play in talent show and at church. Some of my students have placed or won in the talent show. I also teach chord structure which allows you to play by ear or to accompany yourself while singing. Each student is taught in a way that will enhance their talents.
