Music Lessons in Kingsburg, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

I started teaching piano in other people's homes soon after I became a student at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, CA. Since I sang mostly at church, people asked me if their children could learn more about music from someone who has worked on it for a long time.

I believe that positive reinforcement is the best way to encourage my students to attain the confidence that is needed as a performer. Musical expression is a visceral experience and I strive to create a comfortable environment for my students.

I love when the student smiles during his or her lesson! Read More
