Welcome to my website!
I have been teaching piano lessons privately for over 40 years. My philosophy and goal has always been to cultivate students who will love making music at any level of proficiency. I became intrigued with the MYC program after several MYC students transferred into my private studio. As a result of this I decided to research and find out what MYC was all about. I absolutely loved the concepts of this well-rounded program and decided to take the course and implement it into my studio. What really sold me on this program is how solid the music foundation is for any future instrument that the student might like to study.
Advantages for parented group classes and group musical activities:
musical journey alongside parents and peers
solid foundation of understanding and appreciation of music
singing
rhythm ensembles with percussion instruments
learning to play the piano/keyboard
developing ear and sight-reading skills
creative movement
music reading
musical composition and improvisation
practical theory (theory in action)
safe, friendly environment for optimal learning
