About
I ensure that all of my students have happy musical moments during their lesson time. I am also a pianist and accompany them on their pieces so they get the full performance experience.
I teach all ages and love watching my students progress. There is always joyful improvement, and when they master a piece, I perform with them to create that moment of satisfaction that makes them want to get to the next step. My motto is "improve each day", which brings joy, fulfillment and satisfaction to life.
