My journey with music began at the age of five with some of the most inspirational teachers. At that time I never imagined that music would not only become my livelihood, but also that my passion for playing and teaching would grow so strong. I started studying music at Henryk Wieniawskis School of Music at age of 7 where I spent another 12 years learning piano, trumpet, vocal, music theory and related to music subjects. Read More

I strive to instill in my students the capacity to teach themselves; after all, it is in the practice room, not in the lesson studio, where the greatest leaps are made.

For beginning students, I prefer to use Essential Elements by Bruce Pearson. This is the book I learned from and have been using to teach.

I even used the books for myself when I was learning how to play other instruments in college! Some books can look overwhelming for kids who are just beginning. For beginning piano students, I typically start with John W. Schuam's Piano Course: Pre-A (AKA "The Green Book) and John Thompson's "Note Speller" (AKA "The Red Book"). I do ask for all of my students to have a small manuscript book as well for notes and other fun exercises. Read More
