Piano & Guitar Lessons
My teaching approach is less formal then most, exploring music and theory through creative, fun and successful ways. It is a well rounded approach that develops:
I achieve this by incorporating games, drums, percussion instruments, worksheets, theory books and incentive programs (such as 'Music Bucks') -- which support a variety of learning styles. read more...
Since Roxy began to teach my daughter Atira to play the piano, there has been a huge improvement in her confidence, talent, and knowledge of music. She is expressing herself a lot more and is excited about what she is learning. This experience has included myself. It has been wonderful and exciting journey, joining my daughter in learning the piano. Thanks Roxy! ~Sancha & Atira

Teaching Philosophy & Style
With a fun learning environment, the experience is rewarding for the student and their family who supports them at home. Research indicates that benefits of music instruction may include:
- improved self-esteem
- improved listening skills
- better attention & focus
- learning self-discipline & responsibility
- improved memory
- and more...
My teaching style is tailored for each individuals interests and strengths, a great fit for:
- Adults who have always wanted to play or reconnect to music, but did not want to start with "Mary Had A Little Lamb"
- Young beginners, starting age 5
- Teens who want to explore popular music, soundtracks, video game music, etc
- Students who wish to rekindle their music interests

Adapted Music Lessons
Please contact me if you or your child has special needs, so that we can create an succesful learning environment. Often the guitar and piano can be adapted, even in cases of limited mobility. My Music Therapy background has also given me strategies to keep very active children engaged and support learning challenges.
