Music Lessons in Green Acres, VA

Instruments: Piano

The bulk of my teaching experience comes from my college days where I taught secondary piano lessons to college undergraduates and children. My teaching style and methods were solidified in my graduate studies at Indiana University where I was an Associate Instructor of Piano. During this time, I taught group piano classes to music and non-music majors, private piano lessons to both graduate and undergraduate students, and worked as a counselor/practice coach for three summers at the prestigious piano summer festival Indiana University Piano Academy.

Simply put, music is one of the greatest forces for good in this world that I have had the pleasure to experience. I'd like to give to my students the ability to find the same joy I have found in it, and this is my primary focus in any teaching situation. Because of this, I make it a point to learn what influences and inspires each person I work with so that I can better put myself in their shoes and get an idea of what stylistic avenues they may enjoy pursuing.
