I am a passionate and dedicated musician with a broad range of experiences both in education and performance. As a solo artist, I have toured the United States extensively, and have performed at festivals in the Caribbean and Denmark. Having performed and taught music in so many styles, I feel I can bring a lot of perspective to each lesson. I earned my Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Texas in 2015, and have really settled in to the Central Texas community. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students excel at their lessons! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace.
