I love spending time with my students. Knowing that my words and actions have the power to lift them up and inspire them is an incredible honor. I love to create curriculum that supports different learning styles, keeps the process fun, and ensures that my students truly achieve musical literacy and proficiency.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Students can begin with a FREE Online Demo class. Or you can schedule a private assessment to determine the best class placement.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I opened Piano Lab after teaching privately for 25 years. This program maximizes student success by leveraging peer encouragement, varied learning activities, steady achievements, and performance moments.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Student tuition is $99/month and we offer a 10% family discount. We also offer week long summer camps for $150.
How did you get started teaching?
I studied music from the age of 5, minored in Piano Performance from American University, and have worked as a professional musician for the last 25 years while also teaching hundreds of wonderful students!
What types of students have you worked with?
We teach absolute beginners starting at age 4 as well as intermediates and adults. Our program is designed to support varied learning styles and take students from their first keys to college readiness.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Each year we host our Student Showcase where classes perform as a team. They master a classical theme and write their own original blues. They are accompanied by a live band, wear team t-shirts, and celebrate together with food trucks and ice cream.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Try out a lesson! We offer demo classes, observations, studio tours and online assessments. It could not be easier to see if our program is a good fit for your student.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
This is an opportunity for your child to truly learn the language of music and have that gift for life. Don't just check 'Piano Lessons' off your to do list! You will want a provider or program that can adapt to your student's and family's needs so that they can stick with it for the long term. We believe in meeting the needs of every student EVERY WEEK whether that means a flexible schedule, tracking and analyzing student progress, or looking for new ways to turn up the inspiration and fun.
