About
I attended Michigan State University as a Classical Piano Performance Major. While at MSU, I also performed with jazz bands, studied piano pedagogy, and completed K-12 music education classes. During this time I gained valuable information about the piano teaching methods that I use today.
I teach Music Appreciation classes, Music Theory, Piano, Chorus, Musical Theatre, Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, and High School music. I also teach group and private piano and voice lessons to several students in my personal studio. I have a passion for creating a fun and challenging lesson environment that is tailor made with each student in mind.
I recognize the potential in each one of my students. Since starting as a music educator in 2000, my results are a testament to the fact that my system works!
