Pianist – Instructor

Being a piano teacher allows me to pass my passion onto others! I have a broad range of students with not only different ages (I've had as young as Kindergarten, all the way through retirement age!), but also their individual goals. 

Even though I am well advanced in my own playing abilities, I focus solely on teaching the beginner/select intermediate levels. At the end of they day, I love helping others achieve something as beautiful as playing the piano!
