Beginner

Intermediate

I specialize in beginners under 12. My program is specially designed to engage the young student using games and crafts. Whether you are looking to start your child on their musical journey, or looking for a new stop along yours, I have a place for you! My lessons are uniquely customized for each student. It is important for the student and I to get to know each other in order for me to design a lesson that best fits their personality, interests, and learning styles. While I received my training in Classical music, that is not the only style of music we will cover. All styles of music can be explored, whether you want to jam out to your favorite pop song, shimmy to jazz, or transport yourself to another world with a movie score. Whatever the student's interests may be, we will use that enthusiasm to build a solid foundation of skills.

My goal as an instructor is not just to share the beauty and wonder of the piano, it is to instill knowledge and appreciation for all music. A well-rounded musician is versed in all aspects of musical expression including composing, improvising, and thoughtful listening. I cover musical skills and concepts that are not just specific to the piano. Rhythm, ear training and sight-singing, music theory, improvisation, composition are essential skills that will be covered in order for a student to be successful on their musical journey, wherever it may take them.

Music has always been a part of my life. I started piano as a youngster growing up in Rockville, Md. After exploring other instruments and activities I decided that performing and teaching piano was the path for me. I received my B.A. in Music from St. Mary's College of Maryland where I studied with Brian Ganz, an internationally renowned pianist best known for his ongoing project to perform all of Frédéric Chopin's piano works.  I graduated with my M.M. in Piano Performance from George Mason University studying alongside Dr. Linda Apple Monson, recipient of the 2009 George Mason University Teaching Excellence Award, the 2012 George Mason University Distinguished Faculty Member of the Year award, and the prestigious Influential Women of Virginia award in 2014.
