I am an RCM Certified Piano and Theory instructor with over 17 years of teaching experience. As an instructor, my mission is to help others discover the countless benefits that piano has to offer throughout all stages of life.
My lifelong passion for the art of piano has inspired me to offer fun and innovative music lessons to students of all ages, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment. In my lessons, I customize each student's program to accommodate their learning style, incorporating performance, sight-reading, ear training, and rhythm exercises. Through all stages of musical growth, I encourage my students and provide them with ongoing support. Using various method books and genres, I offer piano training and theory that empowers students to qualify for RCM certification and earn marks well above the national average.
