I thoroughly enjoy making my own curriculums based on each student's unique learning style. I do combine elements of other books or methods I've seen or learned myself too though, and am open to working through any books that the student themself finds interesting. Normally for beginner musicians, I like to take them through the basics of reading sheet music, as that has been a cornerstone to my learning as well. Read More

I don't have a singular method because every student is different. At the beginning of my lessons with a new student we will begin getting to know each other. Then we try different things.

What I find most important is being flexible. Read More

I believe that each student's success - no matter how big or small, needs to be celebrated and encouraged.

It is very important to me to learn each student's personal goals and objectives, and to plan my instruction based on what that student is after. Read More

Hello! I graduated from Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz Studies (their way of saying "Jazz Piano") in the spring of 2018.

I played in IU's esteemed Wallarab Ensemble (the school's top big band) for five semesters, and spent one year (the maximum alloted time for any student) in the Plummer Ensemble, IU's flagship jazz group which performs around the country.
