For more advanced students I am able to guide them into more complex topics such as musical creativity, feel, and improvisation. I will also be able to help students with the behavioral and psychological aspects of consistent practicing and live performing as I have a background in psychology. Read More

In the past few years I began my self-owned, self-operated business specializing in piano performance for client events as well as piano instruction. Read More
