About Me

I am a professor emerita in music  from the University of Utah, where  I taught piano performance majors and minors for over 40 years.  I have a studio in my home with two Steinway grand pianos. I also teach online.   I teach intermediate to advanced students.  My program includes theory, technique, performance training, with an emphasis on repertoire building.  I enjoy teaching very much  and I love to help students achieve their musical goals and aspirations.  I help students prepare for recitals, competitions and auditions. My studio includes students that are 11 years old all the way up  to adult students. Each student is individually taught according to their level, and skill.  Many students feel a lack of confidence when playing the piano and I work very hard to help them improve in that area.  For more info, please visit my website at (contact me).  You can also google me!
