Music Lessons in Mount Lemmon, AZ

Instruments: Piano

I am passionate about piano and music education. I believe that a good music education unlocks skills and talents that cross over into other disciplines including S.T.E.M. subjects and even athletics. Music lessons are also a great way to teach personal responsibility and the importance of preparation. I have a bachelors and masters degree in classical piano from Chapman University in Orange County and University of Southern California. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Oboe Music

I have been teaching in classrooms and after-school programs for over twenty years, and in 2023 began teaching music lessons in my home studio. I grew up playing music and participating in school bands and orchestras, but spent the first half of my adulthood in careers unrelated to music. I have found that my formal music education did not prepare me for the music-making that I find most rewarding today--making music collaboratively and casually with friends. Read More

I focus my goals on being the best and making sure my students are become better. Young or old anyone can learn if they focus and become passionate for what they play. Read More

My teaching style is centered on the intersection between neuroscience and music. I love exploring how the brain works and how we can take advantage of that to make our practice as effective as possible. For example, did you know that a lot of the absorbing information that your brain does happens while youre sleeping? Or that a technique called random practice is more effective than blocked practice? In addition to supplementing my teaching with my neuroscience degree (in progress), I also think that it is my job as a teacher to make motivation and inspiration as easy as possible for the student.

My materials are developed from university level professors who have tried and true practice techniques to help any age group. For middle and high school students I also use etude books for sight reading practice and focus on technique to help with difficult rhythms and wide pitch ranges found in middle and high school music. For adults, I start with asking what their goals are and use supplemented materials depending where their focus is. Read More
