I am a skilled and passionate instructor, composer, pianist, and organist as well as a graduate of Loyola University New Orleans. Initially self-taught on the piano, I had my first experience with lessons on the organ thanks to the charity of Dr. Marcus St. Julien, and I want to pass that spirit of mentoring on to every student I meet. I am experienced in and passionate about all kinds of classical music, ranging from Bach to Beethoven to Ravel, Prokofiev, and Schoenberg, and I also have a background in jazz and pop music.

For beginning students, I vary my teaching methods quite a bit. I often take on students in households that already have method books purchased, and I have never had an issue with using them.

Students will often mentally understand what they need to do, but the necessary motor skills take time and repetition to achieve their goals. Read More

Taking it bit by bit will allow for laying foundational bricks that will be an anchor for concept building. Read More

I often allow students curiosity and intuition to inform what students learn in their lessons. I approach teaching music like teaching a new language. It requires repetition and immersion to get the most out of it. I understand and remember the difficulties I faced in learning music so I help students navigate those challenges through their lessons. To become a master at the language of music, the student must stay encouraged and eager to learn and apply it on their own time outside of their lessons. Read More
