I approach each student as an individual who may have particular strengths and weaknesses, and attempt to implement a course of study that speaks to the learning process of that person. I draw from a broad variety of keyboard or piano works from the baroque, classical, romantic, impressionist, 20th century and contemporary composers. I encourage students to expand their listening experience and increase their exposure to unexplored music genres. My study of technique at the master degree level at Temple University enlightened me to the mechanics of piano playing, and I was fortunate to have professor Harvey Wedeen elaborate on what he called a ‘curvilinear method’, a modification of the rotation method of Dorothy Taubman. It is a great pleasure to witness the musical and pianistic growth of my students on their journey as developing musicians and music lovers.
