As an art form, there is a constant struggle between creating music that is technically "perfect" and music that "speaks to the heart". I believe there is a balance between these two objectives and we will work tirelessly to find that place where you can discover your musical artistry. I am a patient instructor and will never demand perfection from my students. I will always encourage you to do your best and reach your highest potential as a musician. Read More

I believe each student has unique gifts. I love watching my students thrive by encouraging self-exploration as we learn about music. If a student loves playing by ear, we seek knowledge of composition more, if they are inspired to play Star Wars, we add that to the repertoire. If a good solid foundation is built through the sequential lesson books along with motivating material, retention is higher. Encouragement of progression at his or her own pace by understanding each students gifts, along with realistic goals and practice, aids in well rounded musicians. Read More

My father was a high school choir director and my mother was an elementary school teacher. So from a young age I was taught the value of learning, teaching, and music.

I have 17 years of diverse professional performance experience including solo work, small ensemble shows, and full scale symphony productions. Read More
