Experience
I currently teach music theory aswell as piano at SEED Performing Arts in Walnut, CA. Ages 6-13. I also give private music theory and piano lessons to adults.
Approach
I take a very music theory approach to learning the piano. I want the student to able to compose and analyze their own music if they ever want to. I I use the music theory, piano technique, and reading books by The Musician's Institute mainly, and for little kids Fabers Piano Adventures.
