Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Violin

I began teaching lessons in college, but grew my studio while I was preparing for grad school auditions from 2010-2012. Most of my students at that time were beginner piano lessons and I love to teach young children. I also greatly enjoy teaching children with autism. I have had success in combining my music education and music therapy skills to help students accomplish musical goals while also addressing behavioral goals such as increasing verbal or nonverbal communication.

I use a variety of methods for my teaching style. I usually have a few method books that I bring to a first lesson, and after meeting the student I will decide on the best one.

Music is associated with movies, radio, etc., so to be able to play something recognizable is exciting for the student and the teacher. Read More

With older beginning students (older elementary age) I start with the Essential Elements book and try to work through that as quickly as the student is able.

If an older student has some playing experience, I assess their playing through careful observation and tailor my approach by addressing the technical flaws in their playing that should be improved.
