About
I have been studying piano for 16 years continuously, competing in solo competitions as well as playing with other musicians. I am a member of a piano trio, accompany up to 25 people a year for various competitions and recitals, as well as play for various local events. I have taught piano lessons for 2 years and am a current member of the Utah Music Teachers Association. I have completed 3 years of performance study at Brigham Young University under Dr. Scott Holden, as well as private lessons in Vienna, Austria and Budapest, Hungary at the Franz Liszt acadamy. I will apply for a masters degree in one year.
I have TWO main locations I will be teaching at: one in Provo, the other in Alpine Ut.
I am technically qualified to teach others this instrument, but more important, I enjoy it! I look forwarding to helping others learn such a useful skill and have high expectations of students.
I love learning languages. Having studied four foreign languages, I am a believer in the power of learning to communicate in new ways. Music is a language that everyone can understand and it's extremely important that as many people attempt to learn this language as possible - for their own benefit and the benefit of others. It is a powerful and fun tool!
