Teaching in Highland Park, University Park, and Dallas, TX

 

I currently teach at Dallas/Music, an excellent music school in Snider Plaza, and I also give private home lessons in the Dallas and Park Cities area (zip codes 75201, 75205, 75206, 75209, 75214, 75218, 75219, 75225, 75229, 75230, 75231).  In May 2005, I graduated with a master’s degree in piano performance and pedagogy from SMU and in May 2007 with a master’s degree in music theory from the same university.

 

Currently, I teach as an adjunct lecturer in music theory and class piano at SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts.  Throughout the year, I adjudicate at musical events across the DFW metroplex.  I also serve as a board member for DMTA and in the music theory review for TMTA.  I am also a member of MTNA and the Society for Music Theory.

 

At Dallas/Music, I teach private piano lessons as well as music theory to small groups.  The styles I cover are classical, jazz, pop, and improvisation.  My pedagogical vision is that of the student as an independent learner.  I deal with students as people who are eager to learn music at the piano.  I help them achieve success in various events throughout the year, such as:
