About
I LOVE teaching. In our lessons, I consider the whole person. Who you are in the lesson, and who you are outside of the lesson. I push my students lovingly. I am easygoing when things are tough. I truly enjoy seeing people succeed, and sharing my passion of music with those who want it. Stick with me - I'll help you reach your goals for sure, and enjoy the process!!

How did you get started teaching?
I was hired by School of Rock in Boulder, CO. Discovered I found such joy in sharing my passions and helping others succeed. When I started my own private business, the love of teaching grew even more.
What types of students have you worked with?
All types. People interested in composition, piano, theory, vocals, aural skills, band performance, jazz studies... all ages, anywhere from 4 years old to 70 years old.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
In 2020, I released an EP including all the best musicians I worked with in Boulder, CO. I feel such joy to have an album I can show others that includes my favorite musicians.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Know what you want out of these lessons. The better you are able to articulate your goals to me, the better I can support you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Why do you want to learn music (the purpose of your studies)? Is it for fun? Do you want to go into performing?
How much time do you want to dedicate to practicing per week?
