About
I don't teach kids how to play piano. I help kids find joy in art through music using piano. I help guide the learning process of music which can be applied to any instrument. I focus on a blend of teaching styles that focus on theory, history, technique, and demonstration. Not only will the students learn to read music, they learn the building blocks of music. My instruction will introduce composition ideas, improve, ear training, mood setting, and musical tension. Musical guidance will help those who want to have experience as a soloist as well as playing in bands and ensembles. I teach kids at any age and experience level. I am not limited to piano students as I teach music that can be applied to any music. These are not the traditional music lessons, but a full emersion into the art of music. My instruction is custom tailored to each student.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I don't believe in one solution fits all. The most important thing I emphasize is fun and true appreciation in music. With that, dedication will follow and results will follow. I prefer working with kids of all ages who are ready to find the joy of art and expression
