As a teacher, I think it's important to take a broad view of the impact on music education on students of all ages. Read More

I love teaching! I work hard for my students and we have a lot of fun! I have taught music since 2011 after I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a bachelor's in professional music/music ed. I also graduated with a masters of vocal performance in 2023 from Western Oregon University. Both schools focused on popular music and jazz but I am familiar with light classical repertoire and music theater. Read More

My teaching style can be adjusted to each particular student. Some students take piano lessons for relaxation, others are wanting to pursue a career in music. I can teach for both styles or even a combination of both styles. I set goals for each week that is provided in the piano homework or play work that I assign. I find this works very well. I have a very calm approach to my teaching and do not force things to work or happen. Read More

Whether the student desires to learn classical or contemporary styles of music, goals will be met through the traditional, one-on-one teaching style. Students can also expect me to be friendly, prepared, and motivated to have a great lesson every time, and I expect the same from my students! I encourage them to find joy in what they do, to take pride in their skill and strive to develop and strong sense of ownership in their art from which flows a stronger sense of individuality and personal confidence.

My desire is to bring your musical goals into focus through education and creative participation.

You will gain skills for ensemble playing, writing your own music, or simply playing for your personal enjoyment. Read More
