Teaching piano has been my passion for many years. Music is a joy! My aim in teaching is for the study of music with its many facets becomes one of the many beautiful colors of each students uniquely woven tapestry of living. My students who have been in the RCM program have done very well. They have won contests and have been given honors, however having music in their lives has given my students has given them a unique sense of being that still enriches their lives. I have been in touch with a few former students and they are still enjoying playing music of all kinds, especially piano. My aim is to continue to teach students with a sense of passion and give them a sense of accomplishment and joy.
