I thoroughly love watching my students absorb the knowledge given to them through my teaching and apply it to the piano. The most thrilling part of this job is watching them have a "lightbulb" moment in which everything they couldn't previously understand finally makes sense. My students are my pride and joy and I couldn't imagine being where I am today if I didn't have them to inspire me.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start working with new students by observing their learning capabilities throughout the first few weeks. I give them a steady amount of homework every week, and once I have a good idea of how receptive they are to challenges, I start working them on repertoire and practicing for competitions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching for several years as a private piano instructor. I worked from home for two years before being hired as a piano teacher at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After shutting down due to the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, I transferred to Music and Arts.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing may vary depending on the number of lessons within a month.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching piano from my Dickinson, Texas home when I was sixteen years old. My first student won the Texas All-State Musician title after less than a year of formal study. Soon after this accomplishment, I was hired by Travis Kelley of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas as a part-time piano instructor, then transferred to Music and Arts in late 2017.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students in the age range of 4-60. I have worked mainly with Beginner students, but I have also taught Intermediate to Musically Advanced students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would look for a teacher who works best with not only your child (if you are a parent) but also who communicates well with you (the parent) and who can give you a thorough outline of what the student will be learning throughout the year.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students are welcome to voice whatever concerns they might have. This includes questions about what kind of repertoire they would be learning, what books they will be learning from, and how they can improve technique.
