Practical piano instruction geared to students musical tastes and interests. Very flexible teacher: in terms of what is taught (student's desired focus of skills) and timing (lessons to suit students practicing availability). Have taken adult students from not knowing how to read music to being able to play simple 2-handed pop pieces in 9 months (including understanding scales and chords/harmony). Only asked for 5 minutes/day ;-).
