About Me

For over 20 years, I have enjoyed enabling countless students of all ages to realize their dreams of learning to play the piano. 

I have always had students in addition to working as a composer and performer. As a professional musician, my philosophy is that my students should have the opportunity to learn all of the skills needed to become professional musicians themselves. I tailor my
approach to the student’s individual needs, capabilities and goals.  Following every lesson, I give each student a written plan to work on for the week so they will progress successfully and with organized thinking.

My overall goal is to nurture a love and enthusiasm for music.

Ferris a great teacher, I started piano myself with an app and got stuck at a certain skill level. She quickly helped me to progress and helped me to go to the next level.
