While my life took some time away from music, I still held a strong belief that music is at the very essence of human expression and can hold academic as well as therapeutic affects for students young and old. For this reason, I returned to university to get my teaching license in general music with a vocal emphasis. The voice is the center of human expression, and I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to unlock this uniquely human ability to communicate thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Read More

My experience as a private instructor began as early as when I was a student in college studying music. I have always had a profound passion for teaching at the private level because it really gives me the opportunity to help an individual in a more focused and meticulous manner.

It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded. While piano instruction is certainly central to each lesson, I also spend time teaching music theory and ear training. I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More
