My desire is to inspire a love and passion for music in all of my students. I love to teach and tutor piano and theory, and I enjoy students of all ages and abilities.
Since Covid I’ve continued teaching piano and theory online year round! Distance and time zones are no longer an issue, as I’ve been able to teach students in isolated rural areas, and continue teaching students who have moved to different parts of the country.
I've been so grateful for the wealth of teaching resources that the RCM has provided to teachers, to help equip us to give our very best to our students.
