My philosophy of instruction is based on some fundamental issues of language. Literacy is an important component to any language. You learn to read so you can expand your possibilities by going to the library. I would hope that no matter how many years people study piano, they would be able to go to the music store, buy some music, and teach it to themselves.I am a classical pianist and teach my students the fundamentals of classical music. However, along with the vast abundance of classical piano literature, I would like everyone to try music of other genres as well. Some examples would be: Standard Jazz, Rock and Roll, Blues, Broadway and Ragtime, to name a few. A broad understanding of music and styles allows me to enjoy a variety of musical experiences with other people and my goal has always been to pass that along to my students.

This woman is basically out of her mind … she would spend half of each lesson talking about her personal life, often in tears … or else talking about how great she was … or how the bowdoin staff was mistreating her … she might be a good pianist but she is a strange person, an awful teacher and not right in the head

Best piano instruction I ever had. I tried a couple of other instructors, but I am particular with spending money. If I don't see a good value, I move on. Patient, considerate, extremely knowledgeable and a joy to work with. You can see she loves what she does. Great studio. Great location. Very accommodating.
