Music Lessons in Inver Grove Heights, MN

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello

Cello is my main instrument, but I have also been teaching piano, guitar, and violin for years. I love teaching and the variety of finding the approach that works best for each individual student. On a personal note, I was married in 2010 and had my first child, a boy, a year later. I live in Northfield but commute up to the Eden Prairie/Chanhassen area for lessons every Monday. I am also open to giving lessons at people's homes who are close to Highway 35 on the way to or from the Cities. Read More

I have been performing since age 7 playing classical piano in recitals with my sister. I got my first guitar at the age of 12. At 15 I was playing around town with different bands.

I have a variety of musical experiences to draw from which is a benefit to my students. Read More

I try to find out what motivates the student and what makes them so interested in trumpet and go off of that. Read More
