ABOUT MY TEACHING STYLE -
“As an Artist-Teacher of Piano, I develop my students' 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 for their most exciting, engaging, and expressive performances.
We exaggerate all those elements, so the listener can hear them.
We spot patterns for efficiency.
My advanced students go from solo artist to orchestrator.”
