As a piano and voice teacher I firmly believe in making music musical. Theory is the foundation that allows for the music to speak to both the performer and audience. I teach the theory, yet I also focus on making the notes on the page come alive. I make a point of including music and styles the student is passionate about. I want each student to discover what music means to them.
