Teacher's Credo:
I am passionate about music and the teaching of piano. Nothing is more exciting to me as a teacher than to share in each student's development as they discover their personal best. I have been fortunate to study with remarkable pianists and musicians who cared enough to pass on a legacy of pianistic excellence and musical expression, and it is my hope as a teacher to continue this tradition. Believing that each student should show weekly progress, maintain a weekly practice regimen, grow to enjoy the thrill of independent mastery of the piano, the theory of music, and the historical perspectives of musical style and interpretation takes comittment on the part of student and parents who share my passion and who look forward to attaining the skills fundamental to a lifelong enjoyment of piano performance.
