I love working with students and helping them getting comfortable around music. I started playing piano since I was 6 years old and experienced different teachers, teaching methods, and musicians.

I am a dedicated musician who has been playing the piano since age 3.

I often have students work through my Commercial Piano Workbooks, or use jazz worksheets that I have created.
