Private Lessons:
Two hundred years ago, the study of music was not available to the everyone, like it is today; you had to be either royalty or extremely wealthy to be able to afford to employ music tutors and pursue the sacred study of music. Today, musical instruments, music education, and other materials are more accessible to those interested in studying the centuries-long coveted art. Private lesssons provide one-on-one instructor/student interaction that is tailored to the age, ability, and learning style of each individual student.
The study of music is a decision that should not be made lightly. The intrinsic value is second to none! A student that studies for the LOVE of music is one that will have a profound effect on the lives of those whom are fortunate enough to witness his/her performance...such as composers like Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. A student who harnesses that passion and uses that love as a driving motivation to further his/her musical experience will become very successful. Hence, I encourage each student to take his/her private lessons very seriously. Once, a decision has been made to move forward and pursue piano or vocal studies, the next step is to get in touch with me to schedule private lessons.

Resources:
When studying piano, it is essential that each student have the opportunity to practice on an actual piano or a keyboard with weighted keys. Weighted keys make a significant difference in a student's ability to perform his/her Technic accurately and confidently. Having the proper equipment for your student to practice on is crucial to his/her musical success.
Below are links to reputable piano vendors that are known for making quality pianos that assist students in succeeding in piano performance.
