Professional musician with over 20 years of private lesson teaching experience and 20 years of professional performance experience. All ages and levels of experience are welcome. Are you a beginner? Great! I love teaching people from the start of their playing career because we can focus on making sure you're getting a good foundation. High school student preparing to major in music? Perfect! We'll cover piano technique, repertoire, music theory, ear training, sight reading, and more! Can't read music? No problem! That's why you're here - to learn and grow as a musician! No matter what your age or experience level, I will provide you with the tools necessary to hone your craft and get what you want out of the piano, whether that might be playing keyboard in a rock band for recreation or going to college to be a music major!
