I enjoy seeing the excitement on my students' faces once they learn something new. A teacher has an incredible power to permanently influence students and my goal is to help my students see how wonderful music is so that it can become a life-long experience. I get to work with all kinds of students and during lessons I often discover that these piano students have other unexplored talents!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student I offer a 15 min interview (free of charge), which is designated for the parents, student and teacher to talk about their previous musical experience (if any), what they hope to get out of the lessons, whether they have a keyboard or not, what the student's school work load is like. I understand most students have other activities during their week and I adjust the amount of work I give them depending on what I know they will be able to complete. I would never want to overwhelm the student, on the contrary, I want piano lessons to be fun and something they look forward to.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Pre-College student at the Manhattan School of Music, NY.
Bachelor's of Music, with a focus on Piano Performance. Minor in Psychology- University of Miami
Currently pursuing a Master's of Music Education, with k-12 Certification-University of Miami
How did you get started teaching?
I received my first students through the Frost School of Music Preparatory program. After that, my piano studio grew by word-of-mouth and by becoming a faculty member at the Miami Conservatory of Music.
What types of students have you worked with?
Children, teenagers and middle age adults of all levels.
I have also with children on the autism spectrum and adults with learning disabilities.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have truly appreciated how many of my students were eager to switch to Online Piano lessons during this Covid-19 crisis. This shows persistence and interest from their part. A lot of them are young, and they WANT the lessons, their parents don't have to force them. A student looking forward to their weekly piano lessons is the best compliment I could receive as a teacher.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Don't only look for qualifications. Also look for a teacher you can communicate with, someone who is willing to listen and adjust to your needs as a student. If going to the lessons makes you anxious and scared, this is not the right fit.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do I expect to get out of the lessons? (Goals)
How much time am I willing to/ can I invest in doing so?
What kind of music do I enjoy listening to most and would like to play?
