Music Theory Lessons in Highland Park. Amazing Teachers.

I am an experienced performing artist and teacher that works in New York and regionally. My music students include children, working professionals, performing artists, and seniors. I attended Barnard College, Columbia University, and Maggie Flanigan's acting conservatory program.

I learned music theory at The Brooklyn Music School and Cornell University. I'm a classically trained pianist. I have been teaching this subject for 10 years.
