Relocated to Medocino county
I have now moved to Fort Bragg and will be ready to start teaching lessons in the fall. The studio is set up and ready for fingers to start tickling the keys and curious minds to learn the joy of music. Feel free to email me at Zptydoda21@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

Why piano lessons?
This is a great article that I encourage parents to read if you have any question on the importance of music for our youth.

My teaching philosophy
Just a few points on my personal teaching philosophy which are important things to consider when selecting a teacher.
1. To provide a relaxing environment to each student to foster a positive and fun learning experience.
2. Meet the student where they are at each lesson, because we all have bad days.
3. Offer a variety of teaching methods and styles to find a good match, because each student learns a little differently. Be flexible.
4. Provide lots of encouragement each step of the way in the music learning adventure.
Music is fun but for some practicing is not at the top of the list of fun things to do, especially for children who have lots of demands at school and extracurricular activities. If a week goes by and there wasn't time to practice the weeks lesson we improvise and work on something else.
I truly believe the gift of music lessons is the best thing a parent/ guardian can give their child or an if your an adult taking on the challenge of a new instrument, it is a great way to stimulate your mind and find something to add to life that is fun and relaxing.

Welcome to the Music Works Studio blog!
I am currently taking new students and look forward to exploring the joy of music with you.
Piano Lessons can start a child off on a path of cultural appreciation in addition to skill building. Piano instruction done well can build confidence, develop good habits of discipline, and build a foundation for a may even lead to a career path. Gentle beginning instruction helps children with math skills, co-ordination, and musical appreciation. The possibilities are endless with music.
