My background is in musical theater and I have sung, acted and danced my way around the world. I love what I do and love to share this passion with my students.

I also teach beginners piano, because for me the piano is the perfect way to introduce children to music and give them a basic map of what music can be. Read More

Being a person and friend rather than a "teacher" helps establish a nice atmosphere during the lesson, although it is important to be able to show authority as needed.
