I've been teaching piano and composition for 15 years. I've taught countless private lessons to people from all ages from as early as 5 years old to 70! I particularly love to help people create their own music and connect to their own musical voice. I help students get through all of the basics; scales, reading, harmony and music theory. I am very good at helping students be creative and to find something inside themselves that allows them to express their voice. Read More

For beginning students, I typically begin with a deep dive on rudimental studies and keyboard skills on drums and mallet percussion. I gradually introduce notation and music literacy tools to improve the students understanding of how the fundamentals of music interact with one another.

I find that students interests will quickly guide me to making suggestions for different repertoire to take on as the student is ready. Read More

Over 30 years of private and public/private teaching experience. I love to teach. In my lessons, I get to know each student personally, learn their strengths and weaknesses and proceed from there.

My methods have always been successful, and taking a student from point A to point B, C, D and beyond is so rewarding in my work. Read More
