STUDIO INFORMATION:
I teach piano, organ and music theory in my home studio or in your home. Piano Adventures by Faber and Faber are used for beginning and early intermediate students. Students learn a broad range of classical music as well as popular styles and how to read lead sheets. Students who are interested are encouraged to explore composition. All students study music theory appropriate to their level of study. Students may choose to participate in as many performance opportunities as they wish. Students have participated in National Piano Guild Auditions, CAPMT Auditions (many have received superior ratings and have been invited to play at the annual state convention), the Monster Concert, CSU, Chico Keyboard Encounter and studio recitals. Students studying at my home studio have access to computer-assisted theory lessons and learning games. Also, each student creates a bi-annual repertoire CD using my digital recording equipment.
