I am far from your traditional pain teacher, which is why I have become so successful at teaching piano. I am passionate about piano, therefore my students are too. I introduce variety and center my learning methods to every individual student's skill. Sometimes, I will add different instruments to the lesson to help spice up the experience. If my students have genuine interest in music and practice as advised, then I will take them a long way very quickly. I currently have 28 music students and most of my students actually enjoy practicing, which surprises many parents.

In my 7 year musical career, I have become a skilled sheet music reader, song interpreter, and can play in key well with other musicians.

These three components of musicianship are essential for the growth of anybody starting out. Becoming comfortable in these areas will inspire students to continue growing their musical capabilities.

My prices are lower than what you may find in the area because while I am very good at music and have 7 solid years of diverse experience, I feel I can provide the most benefit in the beginning stages of the students learning path, so cheap prices my make up for a lack of schooling or professional training; but I have given many lessons before and my students have all been very successful!

I am a young professional myself and would be eager to teach you or your family member!

Passion for the piano is my specialty! I will use your own talent and drive to make your lessons uniquely motivating for you. I place an emphasis on technique and learning correctly so that you form excellent habits from the start! You will truly enjoy my fun personality and bright, window-lined studio, where each weekly lesson brings you further in your musicianship journey.

I have been teaching piano since 2014 after graduation from college with a Bachelor's in Management and Piano Minor. I have been a church pianist for over 10 years and specialize in Hymnplaying Improvisation. The age range is 4 and up and I use a variety of methods depending on the student. Music for Little Mozarts, Thompson, Bastien and my own supplemental materials are some of the methods and techniques I use to develop good piano skills and a love for music!

I have studied piano, my theory and composition, organ and voice since I was three years old and have taught music and tutored all ages my entire life. I am now a retired physician and will be spending my retirement teaching piano.
