Discover Your Full Potential at the Piano I specialize in helping students excel in technique, score interpretation, and improvisation/composition through a tailored, holistic approach. Improvisation: My teaching combines guided listening, score study, and repertoire exploration to cultivate creativity and confidence. I emphasize developing a strong inner ear, empowering you to bring any sound or idea you hear to life on the piano. Score Interpretation: A well-developed inner ear is also key to mastering classical piano. I guide students to connect deeply with the music, approaching scores with sensitivity and imagination for truly expressive performances. Technique: My technique instruction is grounded in a hybrid approach inspired by Dorothy Taubman, Abby Whiteside, and other renowned pedagogues. This method emphasizes solid, injury-free control of the instrument, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement while unlocking your full technical potential. Whether you're looking to enhance your skills, explore new creative possibilities, or achieve a deeper connection with the piano, my personalized lessons are designed to meet your unique goals. Let’s embark on this musical journey together!
