About
I have a BA in music from Columbia College Chicago and a MMEd (master’s degree in music education) from VanderCook College of Music. I have toured the US with various bands and ensembles over the years including an indie-rock quintet, a 10-piece chamber rock ensemble, Girl Group Chicago, a big band orchestra and as a solo musician. I have accompanied for the Music in the Parks competition, have participated as a theatre pit musician in various Chicago productions for Porchlight Music Theatre, Stage Door Fine Arts and The Neo-Futurists and have won Pop Entertainer of the Year in Illinois with Girl Group Chicago. I compose and perform my own music and am currently working on my second solo album.
I look forward to working with you!
I have been teaching piano, voice, guitar & songwriting privately and in schools for over 14 years. I enjoy working with students of all ages to develop a curriculum that is in line with the student’s goals. I strive to keep lessons fun while helping students discover their musical voices.
I can accommodate small group lessons in addition to 1:1 private lessons. Contact me for more information.
