Originally started the essential music at the age of 5. From that time, I was not afforded to partner with Musical instrument until the age of 7.

I am a professional musician who has been teaching private lessons in South Florida since 1986.  I play the piano, saxophone, and clarinet, and have performed with many orchestras throughout South Florida.  I also have released two children's albums entitled "Math Whiz Multiplication Tables Mastery" (2007) and "Times Tables Jam" (2011).

My journey with music began at the age of four with some of the most inspirational teachers.  At that time I never imagined that music would not only become my livelihood, but also that my passion for playing and teaching would grow so strong. I focus on technique, performance, and also emphasizing the importance of musical theory. I love to share my 40 years experience,  my  enthusiasm for the violin and piano, and so I teachs ages 4 to adult.
