"I have been passionate about music since I began playing piano at the age of five, and I bring over 15 years of performance experience to my teaching. My formal training includes classical piano and voice, and I have developed a large portfolio of self-written and published songs. Over the years, I have cultivated a teaching style that balances strong technical foundations with creative exploration, helping students not only play music but understand and express it.

I have taught one-on-one piano and vocal lessons to students of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced performers. My lessons are personalized to each student’s goals and strengths, incorporating exercises in scales, warm-ups, sight-reading, ear training, harmonization, and improvisation. I also guide students in stage performance, preparing them to play confidently in recitals and auditions, and I integrate creative exercises and songwriting to encourage students to develop their own musical voice.

My approach emphasizes both skill-building and artistic growth. I strive to create an engaging and supportive environment where students can explore music creatively while building solid technical and theoretical foundations. I have experience teaching in private studios, community settings, and volunteer contexts, and I enjoy helping students develop as well-rounded musicians who can perform, compose, and connect with music in meaningful ways." less...
