Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

When I am teaching, I learn my students. I understand who they are, what they need to know and am constantly evolving my practice in order to help my students grow. I am especially good at pinpointing what my students are doing well, creating engaging lessons, and helping them leave knowing what they need to do for the week in order to improve. I like to nest the learning of scales, chords, and techniques within the music that my students are learning. Read More

Because I learn a lot by performing, I also encourage my students to perform as often as possible, in whatever capacity they feel comfortable - auditions, recitals, musicals, gigs, concerts, karaoke, you name it!

I love teaching students of all ages, but am especially experienced with students ages 10-30s. Read More

I have been a teacher and a leader for over 10 years. My forte is one on one interaction, and it is incredibly gratifying to see a student grasp and understand the concepts presented.
