About
Piano lessons personalized for each student! I teach from my home studio and will tailor the lessons to fit both your schedule and your childs learning habits. My goal is to teach every student a love for music according to their learning style.
With a degree in teaching piano, I always enjoy learning more and more about what this career has to offer! I have a history teaching all ages (2-elderly) and all student types including special needs! I have been teaching since 2002 and playing piano ever since I can remember.
I enjoy getting to know each student and watching their growth and development as they grow as people and as musicians.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With each new student I start slowly for the first few lessons to gauge their interest, aptitudes, and preferences. The age and their history with music has a big impact on how those initial lessons are laid out.
My initial goal is to get to know them, their goals, as well as their parents' goals so I can lay out a plan to reach everyone's goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
B.A. in General Music with a Piano Pedegogy emphisis
How did you get started teaching?
My first student was my cousin. Growing up in a small town they were having trouble finding her a piano teacher, I had a passion for teaching and had surpassed my previous teacher as well as the church pianist in my abilities. Since then, I have had a love for teaching!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all ages from 2 to a lady in her 80's. I have taught special needs, prodigies, and many more students!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find a teacher you connect with that has the emphasis you are looking for. A personal connection with the teacher makes piano lessons much more enjoyable and something to look forward to each week rather than dread.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Is there a specific style you want to learn (jazz, improv, classical, modern...)?
Do you have any special needs in a teacher?
What history with piano or music do you have?
