When a good teacher finds a good student, they inspire each other. If you want to learn how to sing in the shower a little better, that's fine, and I might help you do that; but if you feel impelled to use your voice to issue forth song in a more profound way, you have to begin with a deep-down feeling, and one that you can project from your body (and soul) up through your throat and out of your mouth.

Seeing my students develop a passion for music is very rewarding! Every student is an individual and moves at their own pace, I work to asses the areas that I feel the student needs to focus on, and keep a positive, encouraging approach to working through the challenges that playing the piano presents. With both younger and adult students, I give feedback on the pieces by writing notes in a notebook, and or the music itself. Read More
