Teaching Approach
I am a piano teacher in Davis County Utah. I am passionate about music and sharing it with others. My goal as a teacher is to create a positive learning environment where the student can develop musical skills and a love of music. I am especially focused on helping young students become motivated and enthusiastic about piano through a careful selection of curriculum.
Lessons are tailored to the individual student and will focus on repertoire, sight reading, technique, listening skills, theory, practicing techniques, musicianship and performance.
I take great pleasure in watching my students develop confidence and musical skills while gaining a love of music!
