 In our lessons, beginning students will learn to read music, play their favorite pieces, how to do warmups and learn basic skills. I use sheet music and introductory books that have coordinating music theory lessons.  I will help develop weekly practice times. More advanced students will learn how to understand and compose music, put expression into the pieces they play and improve their current skills. We have 2 Recitals a year to celebrate the progress of each student.
