PIANO LESSONS

AND/or

JAZZ or POPular music LESSONS!

​

I have taught students for over fifteen years at all levels and ages. This has included beginners, intermediate classical students, and all levels of students in jazz and popular music.

 

With younger, less-experienced piano students, I prioritize discovery, creativity, incremental achievements, and fun. As a student advances, I aim to encourage even higher levels of technique, creativity, and critical thinking as well as overall responsibility for learning - all while still keeping joy in music central. With all students, I try to be mindful of the differences in their learning styles and personalities.

​

While I do teach classical students regularly, I am a specialist in teaching jazz and popular music. I not only teach piano but often work with instrumentalists - I have background as a band director. While I am not strictly focused on the most advanced levels, I have had students that have successfully auditioned at leading undergraduate and graduate university jazz programs.
