Musical study is a discipline. As in any discipline (karate, ballet, etc), hard work is required to achieve expected results. I will strive to make learning as fun and enjoyable as possible. It should be noted, however, that practicing is not always fun or easy, but it is a task which must be performed routinely and correctly. My studio holds the philosophy that practice does not make perfect,perfect practice makes perfect. A student's style of practice is at least as important as the amount of time they spend at the piano. Quality will always prevail over quantity. I cannot guarantee the same degree of success with each student any more than a coach can with a group of athletes. I can only guarantee that if the student and parent will strive with me to achieve success, a certain degree of success and enormous satisfaction will result!
