I started taking piano lessons at 10 years old and fell in love immediately. I excelled quickly and started playing recitals for large crowds at 12 and have since played solo and in various bands. I have played for small venues and at private parties. In 2015, I started teaching from my home and had 5-10 students at any given time. In 2017, I accepted a teaching position with Rock and Roll High School. I have had as many as 40 students ranging in age from 6 to 65 and in ability from beginner to intermediate. I am equally passionate about music and teaching and look forward to using my passion for teaching to help others enhance their knowledge and ability for piano.

Typically I like to start with new students by getting know their learning style and goals. This allows me to tailor my approach accordingly. While fundamentals are necessary, I try to keep the lessons fun and interactive. I have been very successful with students by allowing them to have fun and showcase their strength while ensuring they understand the basics. I am patient and work hard to inspire and coach my students. I prefer to consider myself as a mentor versus just a teacher. I am very flexible in music type and style and like to allow the student to participate in choosing the repertoire that we focus on. I use several different levels of lesson books and theory/homework book depending on the students skill level. Although we may work from the lesson book, l like to mix-up my lesson to keep the students engaged and energized.
