Why I Teach

I've been teaching piano for almost 15 years, and I still love it just as much as when I began. Music is personal, expressive, and life-giving - and my teaching style reflects that. My goal is to help every student feel confident, inspired, and supported as they grow. 

Whether you're a young beginner or someone returning to the piano after years away, lessons are tailored to your goals, learning style, and musical interests. I meet students where they are and guide them forward with warmth, structure, and encouragement. 

What Makes My Studio Unique

• Instruction that combines traditional pedagogy with creativity

• A studio culture that is supportive, joyful, and growth-minded

• Emphasis on strong foundations, musicality, and artistry

• Lessons available for ages 3 through adult

Piano Lessons for Children

Piano lessons can be one of the most rewarding investments you make in your child's development. Music builds confidence, focus, creativity, and resilience - and best of all, it's fun!

I accept students as young as 3 years old, and my approach with children is gentle, structured, and joy-filled. In our lessons, students learn: 

• Healthy technique and posture

• Music reading and rhythm skills

• Listening and expression

• Music theory through games and creative activities

• How to practice independently and confidently

My youngest students often begin with short, engaging lessons that grow with them. I use a variety of age-appropriate method books, ear training games, and visual tools to help young learners thrive - even if they're brand new to music. 

Parents are welcome (and encouraged!) to sit in on lessons when possible, especially in the early weeks. I also provide practice support to help students make steady progress between lessons. 

My goal is to make piano a positive and empowering part of your child's life - not just now, but for years to come.

Piano Lessons for Adults

One of my greatest passions is helping adult students discover (or rediscover) the joy of playing the piano. Whether you're starting for the very first time, returning after a long break, or simply looking to make music a part of your weekly rhythm - I specialized in teaching adults at every level. 

My adult students include: 

• Working profesionals seeking a creative outlet

• Parents learning alongside their children

• Retirees fulfilling a lifelong dream

• Musicians looking to strengthen their keyboard skills

Lessons are always personalized - we'll move at your pace, explore the music you love, and make sure your time at the piano is something you look forward to each week.
