Instruments: Piano, Voice
Styles: Classical, Musical Theater

I have been teaching piano for a few years now, and have been involved in music my entire life. I took piano lessons while growing up, and continued independent study during my time in and after college. Alongside piano, I grew up doing musical theatre, was in as many choirs as I could fit into my schedule, and loved music theory. In my teaching, my number one priority is ensuring that my students are enjoying their time learning and that they are working towards a goal that they are interested in.

Learn to play a song by the end of your first lesson! Piano is a great way to introduce yourself to music and form (or strengthen) your musical foundation. I specialize in beginning and intermediate level students! I firmly believe that it is never too late to learn to play the piano. :) I believe in a technique-driven approach that builds a strong foundation, while also having fun and ensuring that my students enjoy the process and get to play the songs they want to learn. It's no fun thinking about committing to years of lessons before you're able to play anything enjoyable. I do my best to make sure that my students are working towards the music they love and enjoy while also developing their skills. Lessons are tailored to your strengths and weaknesses for a well-rounded approach to note-reading, ear training, theory, and technique. All ages are welcome!
