I am an experienced music educator and have a deep understanding of various musical styles and techniques. I began an apprenticeship of teaching when I was thirteen, which blossomed into a thriving community of my own students. I now have 7 years of teaching experience to pianists of all ages. I incorporate a blend of traditional and innovative teaching methods in my lessons, and work closely with each student to tailor my approach to their individual needs and learning style. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began to teach private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have consistently teaching students in my home studios for the last 8 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I have also found that a combination of classical and gospel music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I facilitate all lessons primarily for the individual student. Beginning with where ever they are starting at. Their individual goals, and how much practice time they have available. I like to make the lessons interesting, educational and enjoyable. Everyone is different and unique. And we all learn at our own pace. There is a creative process to music and I will go over the how and why of a section or an entire arrangement. Read More

Music has been my passion from a very early age. I have learned through my years as an educator that sharing this passion with others is just as rewarding as personal experience or success. I greatly enjoy performing as much as I can myself but helping students achieve their own personal musical goals has become one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I look forward to meeting new students and learning about their passions and goals so that I can help them find the most rewarding path possible! Read More
