About Me
Teaching students is my passion and sharing music is a joy. I also am interested in my student and his/her experiences that influence his/her life. I am interested in their dreams and what they want to achieve and enjoy. I have been teaching for 20 years and am learning from my students all the time. I am interested in meeting new people and learning about them.
My Musical Education Background
My Musical Education Background include a Music Therapy Degree and a Certificate in Piano Pedagogy. I also have a degree in occupational therapy that prepared me to look at technique in a special way to promote musician wellness. This background prepared me to work with students with special needs.
Genres and Subjects Taught
I enjoy teaching different styles of music. I include piano repertoire from the Baroque through the 21st century. I also enjoy music from various countries, folk music, seasonal music. I enjoy playing duets and concertoes with students.
Lesson Rates
My fee is $25.00 per half hour. Beginners do well with 30 minute lessons but as the student advances it is better to have a 45-minute or a 60- minute lesson.
Ages / Skill Levels Taught
My studio includes beginners from 5 years of age to adult. Some of my students are learing to play the piano for enjoyment while others are preparing to take tests such as student achievement tests. I work with the family to decide on the best option for the student.
My Certifications and Awards
I am a state and nationally certified piano teacher. I am an an active member of the Livonia Area Piano Teachers Forum and KAMTA.
My Musical Influences
My musical influences are all the experiences of my life, the people that I have met and the music that I hear. I listen to many styles of music on the radio and on recordings, concerts and youtube. A special interest and influence is music of various cultures that can be shared.
