About
I enjoy giving lessons online and locally in students' homes. I draw on many years of training, including a bachelors degree in Music from Ithaca College (1996). I have sang professionally as a soloist in Catholic Churches for many years and have taught piano and voice lessons since 2007. I also teach chorus at St. Thomas Aquinas school in Warren, MA. I love helping students of all ages achieve their goals.
Whether someone is just pursuing a hobby with their instrument, on track to pursue a music program in college, or wanting to perform at the local level I have been able to assist students in reaching these goals over the years.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to see what goals an individual has and develop a plan targeted at building the skills required to work towards the goal.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's degree in music from Ithaca College with a vocal concentration. I also took piano lessons for 12 years (3 during my college years) and have been an accompanist from time to time for various events.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $25 for a 30 minute lesson.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching to supplement my income as a Social Worker in 2007. Having developed skills as a musician can be a great way to ensure a secondary income is always possible.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with kids from 5 years up to adults in their senior years. I work with beginner to intermediate students on piano and beginner to advanced on voice.
