I teach only Saturday mornings and Monday afternoons in the Assembly Hall. I work with students of all levels but ask that they be able to play hymns competently on the piano. Most of my students come every other week for lessons. I have special interest in preparation for the AGO exams. I also have a preference for the works of J. S. Bach and strongly encourage students to study that repertoire.
