I enjoy teaching students of all ages and levels and do my utmost to provide the best possible music education for my students. Lessons are individualized to meet the needs of my students with emphasis on note reading/identification, theory, technique, improvisation, and ear training. There are so many benefits to music study that include building confidence, discipline, concentration and many other benefits that will help them succeed in life. It is my desire to help each student develop within themselves the qualities of musicianship that will remain with them for a lifetime.

Studio News
Beginning students learn the basics of piano playing while working through the Piano Safari method developed by Dr. Julie Knerr Hague and Katherine Fisher. Other methods include Piano Pronto method developed by Jennifer Eklund, Alfred’s All-In-One Piano Course for Adults, John W. Schaum, John Thompson, and other supplementary material.
More advanced students work on a variety of music including classical repertoire, technique, sight reading and theory. I also encourage my students to work on music from other genres that they find interesting, such as sacred, pop, etc.
