My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as a I began teaching piano lessons as a part of NSU's Junior Music Summer Program. From there I. began taking students for private piano and voice lessons in my home studio for a couple of years. I am also an elementary music teacher here in Norfolk.

For these adult learners I lean toward teaching chords, arpeggios and scales.
