About
I have been making music for as long as I can remember. I started with piano at age 4, and then picked up guitar, then voice, then ukulele, and more along the way before also beginning to compose! I started playing professionally at age 18, and studied Music Therapy and Composition in college with piano as my primary instrument. In pursuing my degree in Music Therapy, I learned how music can profoundly impact lives in many ways, and how music and music education can and should be catered to each student’s individual needs.
Teaching Style
I paid my dues in the stereotypical “boring” music lessons with a teacher who drilled me with monotonous scales and told me all the time how I ‘should practice more’. They gave all their students the exact same repertoire and expected the same results out of them. I almost quit music because of a teacher like that, and I made a commitment to myself that if I ever taught, I would NEVER be “that boring teacher”.
My goal and desire is to bring the FUN and adaptability into music lessons and spark a passion and love for music in ALL of my students! Because of that, it is important to me to cater the lesson structure, curriculum, and repertoire to each student’s interests, needs, and goals to best foster their success and having fun along the way!
Curriculum
I employ a highly individualized approach, and treat each student as unique! I also utilize Faber teaching materials as well as supplemental materials.

I gained over 10 years of teaching experience at schools in South Carolina and Georgia where I taught piano, voice, guitar, ukulele, Loog, and composition and helped lead preschool programs as well as showchoir and substituted on percussion, bass, and cello.
