Piano And Voice Lessons

Welcome, I'm glad you are here! I offer piano, voice and music theory lessons to students of all ages, levels and abilities. I teach several music styles including classical music, rock, pop, jazz, blues, reggae and bossa nova. I also teach songwriting, ear training and improvisation.

My teaching approach is to always meet my students where they are, beginners, intermediate or advanced. We explore different music styles and create together a fun and focused study program to learn and master the piano /voice while playing /singing songs and practicing technique exercises that build a strong foundation no matter what music style they choose to focus on.
