I have a passion for teaching young and old, beginner to advanced and budding professional! My approach focuses on ease of the body and mind in playing piano. I emphasize ergonomic and efficient technique, help students work on their mindset for practice and performance, and align my teaching to the individual goals and interests of the student. As a pianist, I continue to perform both as a soloist and a collaborative pianist on a regular basis. My special area of interest is Music Performance Anxiety and finding ways to mitigate this in students. I have a Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance, a Master of Music in Piano Performance, a Graduate Certificate in Performance Coaching, and a Bachelor of Music. I look forward to working with you to achieve your piano goals!
I offer lessons in person and via Zoom or Skype.
