    My mission is to instill a love and passion for music through a personalized curriculum. All humans are given unique gifts and abilities, which must be nurtured.

Lesson plans are individually curated for each musician to meet them where they are in their studies and support them to reach new domains. Each student's repertoire is selected based on their own unique tastes and styles, with a specific focus on piano performance, music theory, music history, and sight reading.
