Artist statement and teaching philosophy
“My teaching style is open and encourages students to learn at their own pace and accomplish the skills needed to play music they are interested in. I particularly enjoy one-on-one teaching, but have also taught in a group setting. As a teacher I want to help my students grow by meeting the needs of each student and helping them accomplish their goals. I look forward to sharing my love for the piano and welcome students of all levels and ages, starting from 6 to adult.”
