About
Lessons individualized to student needs and interests.
Bachelor of Music Education.
I currently teach 40+ students of diverse ages and abilities. You can find me Monday through Friday at my Studio in the downtown historic section of Tipp City. While my schedule is pretty well filled, I would gladly work with you to find a time to explore the joy of music at the keys or find more beauty in the voice that God gave you!

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching privately after college, but took some years away from private instruction until I sensed God drawing me to connect with the community in greater ways. I returned to private teaching by joining a friend's studio. Before too long our clientele had grown to such a point that it made sense to operate separately to give each of us more space.
What types of students have you worked with?
All ages, all levels, including special needs students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
