About My Teaching
My music lessons are fun and engaging! Younger students will enjoy games that increase their note-reading and technical skills, alongside composition and improvisation activities that promote creativity. For older students, I frequently create my own arrangements of songs by their favorite artists. I can adjust any arrangement to align with your ability level.
Yes, you really can play that song you love listening to! I am comfortable teaching classical, sacred, and popular works. Advanced students interested in a musical career will be coached through the process of selecting and auditioning for a conservatory or music school.
​
I emphasize excellence, creativity, and personalization. Students will be offered regular opportunities for performances and collaboration with other musicians. Most importantly, music lessons should meet YOUR needs and interests.
If there is something you would like to have in your lessons, let me know!
I am happy to work with you as you pursue your own unique musical journey.
