Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music

I am a passionate music educator who believes every person can thrive through music. There is an instrument, style and technique for each learner. My journey in music began at the young age of 3, singing along with the sounds of live guitar and Classic Rock tunes on the radio in my home. Since then I have participated in vocal/choral ensembles for over ten years, and was honored with the opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall with an ensemble in February of 2020. Read More

I believe music lessons of any form should be all about what the student wants to accomplish, rather than a strict curriculum.

When the student is truly interested and truly wants to learn the subject matter, rather than perhaps running a repetitive drill, I find the student advances much faster. Read More
