Piano Lessons in Sterling. Amazing Teachers.

I bring a positive upbeat vibe to the lesson studio. I have been teaching professionally for about 7 yrs and my students enjoy a new approach to learning, bringing life experiences and proper training to achieving goals

All my life I have been in music, from performance to composing. And the feeling I get when a student puts the pieces together and finally understands makes me feel great. Teaching is my life's work

Classical, Contemporary, Pop + Songwriting and Music Theory

Hi everyone!

It is a pleasure for me to teach music. I have been teaching piano and cello for more than ten years. All my students no matter which level of playing are having a good quality time in the lesson. Through my lesson, student learns music from different genres such as music theory,music history, ear training and music appreciation. Because of that, my student always tends to learn quicker than they expected.
Besides teaching, I also perform. My philosophy in music learning is that, it is never easy to learn an instrument. Therefore, learning in a creative atmosphere and giving out precise guidance is not only good for students, but also good for me. By exploring music together each week, it will be a fun and engaging experience for both of us towards music learning.

Using the Edna Mae Burnam series of lessons, you'll learn the fundamentals of piano technique and music theory.

Learn to play contemporary music & classical pieces as well! I have experience playing in both. Music is supposed to be fun & enjoyable. I’ll make sure to provide that experience.
