30 minute or hour long lessons in my home studio. Performance opportunities for school age students at least 4 times a year. I structure each lesson based on the individual's abilities, using well respected lesson series books and classical or popular supplements. I stress the art and joy of creating music; theory as each assignment allows. Adult lessons are less structured, concentrating on the goals of each adult student. Adults too have the opportunity to perform for one another once or twice a year. I respect each and every one of my students. I challenge each student to reach the next level, and my students rise to the occasion and meet my challenge. Yes, I push, but gently and with enthusiasm. My students respond well. I love what I do and I do it well. Piano is my forte
