I'm a professional pianist and organist current residing in beautiful St. Augustine, FL. I hold an undergraduate degree in piano performance, a Masters degree in organ performance, and have over 17 years of teaching experience. I work with students of all ages and skill levels who are interested in reaching their full musical potential. If you'll put in the effort, I'll provide the plan and support you need to reach your goals!
My approach is to combine a solid classical foundation with rote playing so that students start playing quickly, reading deliberately, and developing both their ear/improvisational abilities with strong reading skills simultaneously. From experience, I have found this approach best prepares students for the "real world" of being a musician, while allowing them to explore multiple genres of repertoire (classical, jazz, contemporary, etc.) confidently.
