About Me
As the founder of Music Lessons of Pearland, I am a teaching artist-in-residence committed to organizing exciting, interactive private music lessons that incorporate traditional pedagogical methods coupled with new technology in a tailored-per-individual program designed to produce independent musicians who can read, write, and create music.
