I do my best to incorporate each of the following skill areas to my lessons as well:
- Theory (written musical study that reinforces concepts learned at the piano and contributes to a deeper understanding of how to read music)

- Sight Reading (being able to play a piece of music at a proficient level without having practiced it)
- Ear Training (playing music by ear and learning how to recognize patterns by ear)
- Performance (bringing pieces to performance level, possibly memorizing them and/or performing at recitals, which I hold twice a year)
