About Me
I am classically trained in piano, and I also play a bit of acoustic guitar and ukulele. My heart will always be with classical music and new age piano, but I love swing jazz and film scores too!
I was homeschooled until college myself, and I am now a Waldorf homeschooling mother to a six year old little girl. When I'm not teaching my students or my daughter, I like to make knit teddy bears and Waldorf dolls.
My Musical Education Background
As a homeschooler, I began studying seriously at age 14, and by age 15 my private teachers insisted on sending me to college part time: to continue my musical education in theory and history, and to study with a tutor through the college. I graduated with a bachelors in another area but began teaching music professionally at 18, in 2014.
I've spent the last six years raising my daughter while continuing to teach privately; next I am turning my attention toward studying piano pedagogy through the Royal College of Music, as well as resuming private lessons myself, in order to explore pop, jazz, voice, and other areas more deeply. The more I keep learning, the more I can bring to my students!
