I started teaching my Sophomore Year while studying music in college and have loved it ever since.

Some of my students are doing certificate programs like ABRSM, while others are singing and playing piano simultaneously. Some of my students learn by ear and others are sight readers. Read More

I believe in encouragement, fun and positive focus on the students progress at whatever speed that they progress.
