I have been living and breathing music since I was born. My mom tells me that I started singing before I could form words (by 3 I was singing and walking around the house nonstop). Around that age I told my mom I wanted to learn the violin, piano, flute and guitar, and I ended up learning them in exactly that order!

However, I am also a teacher; I attended Meredith College to pursue an education degree (graduated in 2017) and have taught 3rd-8th grade in the public schools. I love working with children, and fostering a love of learning. My pure joy in teaching is found instructing music privately.

Starting in 2010 I began teaching flute and piano lessons. Since then I have provided lessons for dozen of students and LOVE teaching kids as well as adults MUSIC. My methodology in teaching is perhaps different than my past teacher, but I think it is what people need most:

to create JOY in the hearts of my students

by encouraging them to use their hearts, hands, and voices to play MUSIC

bringing a smile to their face and blessing those around them.

Not only will you work on content and theory in FABER&FABER books, you can learn to play any song your heart desires. I love Disney, pop songs, classics, Christmas music, and praise and worship. If you are interested in learning chords and lead sheet music - you found the perfect teacher. I also think that singing is super important to do while playing piano, so I encourage all my students (whether you think you have a solo voice or not) to give it a try and sing along. I guarantee you will be surprised how your voice improves over time! Finally, I think it is imperative that musicians become comfortable sharing their talents with others. That is why every Christmas and May/June I put together a recital at a local retirement community so we can give back to others. The residents LOVE hearing the music and my students enjoy the chance to share their love of music with others.

MUSIC is not just something I listen to, it's my passion. I am a pianist, singer, songwriter, and choir director.
