Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I have taught numerous students from when they were just a mere 5 or 6 years old until they graduated high school. Watching these students grow along with so many others has been the most rewarding experience for me. Whether it be performing in a piano competition or simply playing for loved ones at home or student recital, it is my greatest desire to help! I had the opportunity to study abroad in Russia for over a year and was able to pick up some of the language as well! Read More
