My teaching style is very much tailored to what each of my individual student’s needs. This is the glory of private lessons! We can take our time.

This keeps me restocking and updating my library, and helps the kids to have more fun in their lessons. Sometimes doing something fun that we love can take away from the stress that learning the language of music can be. Read More

I started learning guitar in 2006 and started learning piano in 2013. I am primarily a beginner-advanced voice teacher with secondary focus on beginner-intermediate piano and guitar. Read More

When I teach teenagers or adults I usually start with Alred’s Basic Adult Piano Course Book, as well as a music theory book that is suited to the student.

My students keep a music notebook of the week’s assignments in which I also make music theory notes and explanations. Read More
