Instead of using the word “teaching”, I would like to refer to “working with students”. This is because I would like students to fully engage with the path of their musical journey, follow their own inner map, and be completely open to a holistic approach to discovering the sound of the world.
Piano requires hands,
hands require the whole arm and body,
and the body requires breathing and balancing.
That breathing and balance comes from our Mind’s intention and listening to our inner and outer selves.
We are all universal and rhythmical beings. Through music, we can work to listen with intention, focus on the ideal, and dedicate our desire to connect the micro parts to the whole, and visa versa, on the path to transformation. Just like we bathe in the forest for rest.
I would also like to assist the students in acquiring technique. Technique means ‘efficient‘ and at ease. In class we can PRACTICE this together. It is a fascinating and miraculous process that the student will retain for life.

As of now, due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, I am open to both online and in-studio lessons while following proper physical distancing protocols (masks, sanitizing, etc.)
Learning and performing are one and the same expressions, both with the potential to guide us deeper into ourselves.
