Congratulations!

We extend a much deserved congratulations to William L. for winning in the local TMTA (Texas Music Teachers Association) Student Affiliate Piano Solo Ensemble Contest. William, along with two other students in the 7th-8th grade division, will represent the Richardson Music Teachers Association in the semi-final rounds on June 13. At the semi-final rounds, each division will be split into single grades. Finalists will compete at the State Convention of the Texas Music Teachers Association, June 14-17.

William has been a member of the studio since 2008.

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website. I teach piano lessons. But what does that mean?

Piano lessons are more than:

...learning to read music notes.

...depressing the correct keys.

...developing physical abilities in order to perform with dazzling virtuosity.

...understanding how to take apart and put together music (i.e., music theory).

...disciplined training of the fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, and shoulders.

...exercises and finger drills.

...performing for friends, neighbors, festivals and competitions.

...expanding neural pathways in the brain.

...appreciating music from different eras.

Learning to play the piano most certainly involves all these things. But most importantly, taking piano lessons results in expressing the depths of our soul through meaningful and beautiful sounds.

I teach piano lessons with joy and passion. I welcome you or your child to enter into the discovery of making music at the piano. Let's meet to arrange for lessons.
