Music for Young Hands
In his approach to pedagogy of beginning thru advanced piano students, Brendan composes original piano music for the technical need of his students. "Teaching beginners is always a challenge on many levels", he says, "...a successful teacher knows how to balance skill development while enstilling a joy and continued enthusiasm for playing."
