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 don't believe in a one size fits all mentality for music education, I've often seen this approach derail students from enjoying the process and eventually terminating their relationship with music overall. Students are a case-by-case basis, and in that regard, each lesson is catered to the students actual goals and interests.

I am a working musician, traveling singer-songwriter, and long-time educator. While at school I focused my education on music and the music industry and building my career as a singer-songwriter.

My goal in my method is to get my students fluent in playing the piano and knowing the methods of piano. Read More
