About Me

My process is to tailor each lesson to meet your distinct goals, so I look forward to learning about your musical interests and skills. The music you play includes classical piano pieces, as well as selections from your preferred musical styles. Music can range from (everything) broadway tunes to folk favorites.

Music theory games, rhythm activities and a varied repertoire make the lessons engaging, educational and fun. With more than 30 years of experience, I've taught students with assorted learning styles and challenges. They are often amazed at how quickly their playing progresses to a whole new level of enjoyment.
