Though I adapt my approach and conversation techniques for all of my students, my underlying philosophy is the same for every student Ive ever taught. The philosophy is that progress is what were striving for, not perfection. I assess the skill and technical abilities and grow from that point. Moving forward is the goal, as a person, student, musician, and even my ability as a teacher. I also learn from my students which pushes me towards progress as well. Read More

I have over 6 years of experience of private music lessons and have taught children anywhere from 4- 17. At age 15, I started my own freelancing private piano teacher business.

Ever since graduating Berklee College of Music in 2022, I knew teaching is what I know and love. I love watching a student develop a passion for music. Read More

For adults I generally give them the option of choosing the music they would like to learn and then try to incorporate some of the technical elements by using scales and Hanon exercises. Read More

What I found during that time is that every child is different, every child has struggles in one area of music or another and that making progress involves practice and enjoying lesson times. I encourage students to work with the SmartMusic software and seek out music they enjoy to help them stay motivated. Read More
