I began teaching in my undergraduate at the Hartt School where I took two years of teaching pedagogy. From here, I was able to begin my own small teaching studio before I moved to Chicago.

Age-friendly materials are my favorite to use. For very young pianists I often buy books with lots of color and large print like Kjos's Piano Party.
