My Project

Learning piano helps develop students develop self awareness, confidence, and neurocognitive abilities. It is also very enjoyable and something for them to be proud of! The addition of individualized DVDs for learning allows me to help them wherever their current level is at. This gives them breathing room for independent growth while having the appropriate support of a teacher. I have piano students from Kindergarten through 8th grade at our school. These will go to great use as the students learn the joy of making music! Their skills learned can last them a lifetime and impact other lives positively as they grow! Thank you!
