Summary
I’ve played piano for over 40 years and was classically trained from the age of 5 to 18. I taught myself how to play guitar from my piano knowledge, and played and sang professionally for many years.
I started teaching private piano lessons a couple years ago, and have 15 students that range in age from 5 to 85. I love working with each individual student and adapting to their specific needs.
I am personable and patient with a deep understanding of music theory and piano technique, and am committed to fostering love for music in students. I also possess strong skills in sight reading. Most of all, I’m dedicated to helping students achieve musical growth and success.
