About
I am a Hope College graduate with a major in Music Education. I have a passion for piano, and a passion for teaching! I love teaching beginning students and it's great to see the wonder and excitement in their eyes when they sit down to the piano for the first time! I also enjoy teaching intermediate and advanced students and helping them toward their goal. In addition to classical piano I also enjoy teaching church worship music. Please contact me (616-450-8980) if you are interested in learning more about piano lessons!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I sit down with the student, ask some questions to get familiar with the student, let them ask me questions, just to break the ice. Then we look at the new piano books and discuss what each book is for. After that, we work through each book for the first lesson once the student is comfortable and ready!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a music education degree from Hope College as well as 35+ years piano playing experience.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started teaching?
I have worked at various churches over the past 10 or so years, and several years back an old college frind of mine asked me if I'd be interested in giving their sons piano lessons. Once that began, the word spread, and here I am today with many students!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginners in the first grade, many in the elementary age range, middle school age, and a few adult students as well.
