William's Studio Philosophy:

Music has shaped every culture around the world. It is a one-of-a-kind language and a natural tool of self-expression. It crosses every boundary and can truly show that we are not that different no matter our race, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, or religion. Every student has creative elements in music that can be developed as their unique means of expression as I have done.

Objectives:

• Instill a love of music and the piano that will last far beyond weekly lessons.

• Develop technique and performance skills at the piano.

• Explore musical and cultural perspectives through exposure  and instruction in music history, theory, literature, listening.

• Nurture discipline and self-esteem and teach life skills: goal setting, practice habits, and time management.
