About
I have a special skill for working with bothbeginners and advanced students. I have been alarmed by the number of students who have come to my studio after years of study who cannot read music. That will not happen with me! If you come regularly and do the assignments I give you, you will be playing music, both hands, within 2 months. I like my students to enjoy the lessons , find them challenging and productive. You will be amazed and what you learn and how quickly! We also have fun in the lessons and you look forward to coming!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to sit down for a few minutes with new students and learn their musical history and find out their goals for studying. If they have prior experience I will ask them to sing, play or act a scene for me.
I will then play for them and let them know how I feel we should proceed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master's of Music in Vocal and Piano Performance.
I have performed in many states and many European countries.
I began my acting career when I was approached by an agent at the age of 14 and performed in my first commercial.
I have appeared in many stage plays and productions, as well as producing plays for my acting students to perform in publicly.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $30.00 for a 30 minute lesson.
I charge $40.00 for a 45 minute lesson.
I charge $50.00 for a 60 minute lesson.
My studio is near S. Logan and W. Mansfield in Englewood, 80110. Also near Hampden Avenue and S. Fox Street.
How did you get started teaching?
My very first student found me when his mother approached me at a music store and asked if I could give her son piano lessons. I was so excited to share with a student how much I loved 🎶 music.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with ALL ages and abilities in my students. My youngest student was not quite 3 years old and my oldest was 80 when she began lessons!
So many students tell me they have no talen or, can't carry a tune. But I have found that everyone can learn and everyone has talent at some level!
We can hone that talent and ecpand what you think you can do-beyond your expectations.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I have been shocked over the last year how many of my new students tell me they can't read music, at all, and this is after many years of lessons.
There is no excuse for that- if you have been taking any type of musics for more than 3 months and can't read music- find a new teacher!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Do you want to really learn the fundamentals- learn to play the piano, learn to sing, learn to play the strings, OR do you just want help to play or sing songs you like?
I prefer to prepare my students to do anything that could possibly come their way musically- but if you need help learning a partucular piece or preparing for a wedding or performance I am happy to help with that as well.
