My philosophy is to develop strong core fundamental piano skills and build on these to create a fully rounded musician. Once a solid foundation is built, the student can follow along any number of paths based on their musical tastes and goals, whether it is Traditional/Classical, Jazz, Pop/Rock, etc. Rhythm, reading and ear training skills are strongly emphasized.
