About

I teach music classes! 

How to sing it, how to play it, how to listen to it, how to read it, how to write it.

I've been making music most of my life, from my first piano lessons in grade school, to my Bachelor of Music from the Crane School of Music, to orchestra and choir performances, to a professional music teaching studio.

Music provides a creative outlet for expressing those big feelings that don't easily come out in words. Music study teaches valuable life skills such as focus, patience, and active listening.

“A kid with a music degree isn’t limited to a performance or teaching career. Musicians are everywhere. We are project managers, marketers, Finance folks, IT people and engineers."
~ Liz Ryan, “Let the kids study music, already!” Forbes, September 3, 2014.

Teaching Style

I provide patient instruction and give gentle, kind feedback for improvement in a safe, encouraging environment for learning.

I will NEVER make a child feel silly for asking questions or couch feedback in a disparaging manner.

Choosing repertoire is a collaborative effort. We will play music that is meaningful and fun for the student, while learning important musical concepts.
