About
I customize my teaching to suit my students’ needs and believe that anyone can play piano regardless of previous experience. I teach classical piano, music theory, music history, and accompanying. I have experience teaching beginning to advanced/collegiate levels and maintain a private studio of students ages 4-60.
I love helping my students express themselves and explore their creativity. I have learned a lifetime of information working with a wide range of ages and abilities.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If the student has had previous experience, I ask them to play me whatever they last worked on and I will ask them technical questions that increase in difficulty. I then work to fill in any holes in order to help the student thrive musically.
If the student has not had any experience in music, I ask them about their goals so that I can customize our lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a masters and bachelors of music in piano performance. I have experience teaching both lessons and literature courses at the collegiate level. I am an active member of MTAC.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Please contact me for information regarding pricing. The first interview is free and no obligation.
How did you get started teaching?
I have a studio in Redlands, CA and teach in Beaumont and Loma Linda, CA.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with students of various levels (beginner to advanced/collegiate). I have experience working with students with various learning disabilities.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I recommend that the student looks for a teacher that is passionate about music education and will adapt to their learning style.
