DurationI specialize in teaching all pianists how to read music and to play piano with a strong technique. All lessons are taught on a Samick Grand piano.
All lessons are unique and based on the student's specific needs with a focus on sound quality, technique, musicianship and style.
Students are encouraged to participate in studio recitals, music festivals, examinations. However, if they so chose, students can always learn piano without the pressure of performing.
I teach classical, popular, rock, jazz, blues and easy listening. All musical genres are possible!
