About
We believe in being good humans first and foremost. Treating others as ourselves is our core value.
We bring the benefits of 28 years of music teaching experience. Our teachers are licensed, certified, and highly qualified educators and have experience teaching students of all ages & abilities.
Our students learn to identify and analyze issues, strategize & problem solve, and self assess. We encourage higher-level thinking in our lessons to foster independent musicianship.
This will provide our students & families with greater lifelong return on their investment; and will allow our students to thrive in every musical environment.

How did you get started teaching?
I have always been involved in music, and come from an extremely gifted musical family. We have done music and teaching for many many generations. I have always loved teaching others and sharing the gifts God has given me.
I started teaching piano in college, and began my work with K-12 students in my practicum experiences while earning my degree. Once I began my first career job as a Choral Music Educator, I continued to teach piano & voice privately as well as teach music through various church groups such as worship teams, choirs, kid's ministries, bands, and orchestras. I always looked for an opportunity to bless others with the knowledge I was blessed with.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all ages; from infants to adults in many kinds of classes/settings.
I have a high level of successful experience with special needs children & adults as well.Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have thoroughly enjoyed our recitals and seeing my students shine.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would recommend asking several teachers about the following specific questions:
How long have you been teaching, and do you hold a degree in music?
What strategies do you use to encourage practicing?
What is your policy on rescheduling/missing lessons?
What performance opportunities do you provide? Are there extra fees involved?
When is tuition due and what payment options are available?
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should think about what their goals are in music. What do they hope to accomplish by taking lessons? Which musical path do they want to take? Can the teacher they plan to work with help them achieve these goals? Will they be forced to follow the music path the teacher sets, or their own music path (within reason)?
