My teaching experience goes back to when I taught piano lessons in high school. Since then I have continued to teach private lessons throughout college. I now teach music at Kansas City Public Schools. One of the key components to my teaching is helping my students find a way to enjoy making music. I like to provide fun supplemental activities as well as their regular lesson books. I also enjoy finding my students as many performance opportunities as possible so they can show off their hard work! Read More

For high school-aged students interested in the classical method or those wishing to enter into solo/ensemble festival, I typically start with folk songs and the essential Italian Art Songs. For high school-aged students interested in musical theater and/or pop music, we try to find common ground on their musical interests and find pieces based on that.

I am a passionate piano instructor who loves sharing all my love, and study experience to my students and working with them. In 2018 summer, I graduated from Ithaca College with a Master of Arts degree in Piano Performance. I have many experiences of playing recitals and concerts to the public, which has been one of the most valuable lesson in my pianist's life. And I also played the piano part in the orchestra for the concert band in Ithaca College from 2016 to 2017, which gave me more confidence in piano collaborative. Read More

I have been playing piano and studying music for 23 years.  I have performed pieces by Chopin, Liszt, Bach, Pachelbel, and Moussorgsky.  With only the use of my right hand, I adapt and arrange pieces so that I can play them with only six fingers.  I will be able to teach you to play with both hands.  I believe that Music should be available to every person on the earth because, music is what unites the world.
