About Me

I'm a young, enthusiastic, energetic, and patient pianist with a B.A. in Jazz Piano Performance from Lewis and Clark College.

So, born in Dallas, I've spent parts of my childhood in various parts of the country, from Washington D.C. to Carbondale, Colorado to Portland, Oregon, and now in hot and humid Houston, Texas. America has a plenty to offer and our great country's musical history is rich and eclectic. I first started playing piano at a very young age from a very old lady. It was something I resented my parents for, not really understanding the whole point of playing music. But now, in retrospect, I thank them indefinitely for exposing me to one of the most important passions of my life. It was in 6th grade that I joined a rock n' roll band, singing and playing all sorts of keyboards and having a ball with music. The idea that I was having fun playing music finally dawned on me and the verb "playing" music finally made perfect sense to me. Without passion, music is simply...

About Me

I am a firm believer in students learning to perform any genre they desire. I was trained in the Classical method and this is definitely a great springboard from which to do anything you want with any kind of music genre. I believe you should enjoy!,enjoy!enjoy! In addition to the Classical method I was trained in the Relaxation Music Method which provided me with additional skills that can help me to teach anyone. I perform original music and I write lyrics and melody in a genre that is not Classical so I know how a bridge from learning the basics to going in a different direction can benefit someone. As a supplement to my performing art, I am a visual artist as well.

Teaching is a very gratifying and fantastic avenue to maintaining one's skills, I love the look in someones' eyes when they have surprised themselves and just performed something they didn't think they could learn.

In my experience, the most important thing about teaching music is to provide a relaxing and...
