I have been teaching since 2009 and was an Associate Instructor for the Jacobs School of Music. I love versatile teaching in different genre and styles. My priority is always the student.

As an international concert guitarist, I had the chance to perform in various settings and love to talk about music in general! Read More

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
