About

I'm a professional pianist and absolutely love teaching kids or adults the joy of learning to play piano and to read music. I have over 25 years of teaching experience and 40 years of professional playing experience and work with the student at their pace to help them discover their creativity and self expression.

My absolute favorite moments come when I see the excitement and joy a student sees when they've mastered a piece, whether its Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star or a complex movement from a Beethoven piano sonata. Helping to foster a love of music in students is the only reason I teach.

Frequently asked questions

I first assess where they are in their knowledge of music and piano-whether they've had previous lessons or if they're absolute beginners. I discuss with them and their parents what their personal goals are, and then recommend a method, and lay out my expectations for practicing. My goal is never to admonish a student for under practicing, but rather to gently show that developing regular habits of practice can lead faster to mastering a piece and for the student to gain self confidence and a greater joy of the process. 

I have 40 years experience as a professional pianist and have performed with symphonies, national broadway tours, schools, theaters and churches. I hold a bachelor's degree in accompanying from the University of Akron, and am a certified Suzuki teacher. I currently work full time as a pianist for the North Royalton School District. I have been teaching steadily for the last 25 years.
