About
I have taught for the past 29 years and I am a certified Taubman Instructor who specializes in ergonomic body alignment for the best possible positioning and ease of motion. This creates a basis to produce the most musical tones. I also retrain adult musicians who have piano related injuries.
I enjoy working with talented and motivated students: adults and children.
