Music Lessons in Naples, NY

Instruments: Piano Trombone Music Keyboard

When teaching students I always create custom lesson plans and materials. Every student is unique, so why should all lessons look the same!

Hi there! I'm a dedicated and passionate violinist, teacher and all-around music enjoyer living in the Rochester area.

At that point I also had a small private studio. Read More
