I am a music teacher based in Orange County, CA. I have recently decided to focus on teaching piano lessons only and no longer am taking new violin or viola students.
My youngest student was 3 years old and my oldest was 76, so I have experience with many different types of students. I have also worked with a few students with special needs.
My approach to teaching music is informative and relaxed. I prefer to focus on both enjoying the art of playing music as well as the learning process. I truly enjoy watching my students discover their musicality with my guidance.
I am big on positive reinforcement and believe that the piano lessons I teach should be a way for the student to grow within themselves. Each student receives specialized attention in order to help them enjoy playing piano the best they can!
