About
I have taught students from beginners to intermediate, young and old. If you love music, let's get together! I teach from my home in Kyle. I work to find music that fits what my students like. You get to play on a big Steinway grand piano for your lessons! Taking new students. I use a method that gets you playing right away, all over the keyboard. Music is something you can enjoy all your life, so why not try it now? Email [email protected] or send me a text 210-965-1201.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first meeting is free, just to get to know what lessons to plan, scheduling, etc. I like to get to know you and what you want out of lessons. Every new student gets to play for me, even if you've never played before!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have about 12 years of private piano instruction and I've played piano most of my life. I have taught piano at home for about 12 years, mainly after retiring from college teaching. I also have played for a number of churches, for weddings, parties. and other events.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I usually charge $100 a month (about $25 for weekly half-hour lessons). Most children do well with a half-hour. Students have to purchase their own books, but I can often get them for you at a discount.
How did you get started teaching?
As I said, I've played all my life since about age 3 or 4. As an adult I was sometimes asked if I would teach someone. After retirement from college teaching, I decided to take on a couple of students. I enjoyed it so much that I kept adding more students. I took a break during the covid period, and I am just now beginning to build my student group again.
What types of students have you worked with?
Children from age 5 to late teens, adults of ages to 80s.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I flew to Chicago to hear my adult pianist son play a piano concerto with an orchestra there. I helped teach him when he was growing up, and he is now an outstanding professional pianist!!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone you like and who helps you develop a love of music!!
