I am a passionate and patient instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2000 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Instrumental Music Education, with a focus on Euphonium.

For my piano students, I use the Piano Adventures series, which includes the fundamentals as well as solo repertoire. Read More
