I began teaching privately in college. I also was a teacher assistant to a music teacher at a local elementary school during my undergraduate years. Now as a professional educator, I teach middle school choir, private piano/violin lessons, play for my church, and, at times, direct my church choir as well. I love to encourage the art and discipline of practice and passion. I love to encourage students with recitals, awards, and celebrating each of their accomplishments on their journey of music education. Read More

I believe a students personality plays a big role in how they are motivated to learn and practice. Therefore, I really try to get to know my students so that I can better instruct them and help them attain their goals. I believe in positive reinforcement and try to inspire my students to "try again" when they do make mistakes and encourage them on their progress. My goal is to help my students find the joy in music, not frustration and stress. Read More

I am excited about teaching Musika piano students. My passion to teach and share what I know about playing the piano comes from my experience as a child. At 7 years old I started taking formal piano lessons. I ended up going to college and majoring in Piano Performance. Performing in Europe came next for me after competing as a classical pianist. Now, I write my own solo piano pieces. I want to inspire my students to do the same--fall in love with practicing and playing the piano, find your own musical voice and reach for the stars!
