Yes. Many of my students have come to me from in-person teachers and are finding a lot of success and growth with my lessons.

I do not offer free lessons. Firstly, I do a free Zoom intake, which allows prospective students and parents time to get to know me, ask questions, and gauge how I speak and interact with you. Second, our first lesson together will always be a discussion. I go over several things so that I can accurately judge where the student is at, and what techniques I will need to introduce or work on with the student. Lastly, there are very few contractors who offer free work, think about plumbers, contractors, dog groomers, housekeepers, electricians, home health aids, etc.

If you have concerns about what you might experience that would make you regret taking lessons with me, ask during our intake. Let me know what hasn’t worked for you in the past. Also check out my Testimonials from past and current students.

I use Zoom primarily for the majority of my students. I have alter the camera angles and share music as needed and I make sure that I can see the student, their hands and posture, and keys.

Learning piano and music is not a matter of proximity, it is a matter of teaching skill and technique. A good teacher will get results and be able to teach a student regardless of the format. Likewise a bad teacher in person, is still a bad teacher.

No. I am offering lessons online only at this time. I have found that online lessons are as effective as in-person lessons.

Unlike some other teachers who rush their students through one piece after another, I focus on form, technique, and theory. I work to ensure that each student knows why they are playing music in a certain way. My students have fun, learn at their pace, and feel empowered in their learning.

I am in the Eastern Time Zone.

I find that trying to control the student does not work. Instead I work to get buy-in and engage the student, bringing excitement and curiosity to our lessons. For younger students and students who need a lot of movement, I encourage quick stretching and movement breaks. The student does not have to look at the screen the whole time in order to learn.

Absolutely! There is no age at which you cannot learn how to play piano. I work with each student to understand where they are with their experience and skill, how the student learns best, and how to meet them where they are at. I love sharing my passion for music and want everyone to feel safe and happy in their learning.

I work with students 7-99+ with all levels of musical and piano experience. My students range from adult learners who are fulfilling a lifelong wish, young students getting into music for the first time, singers who are looking to learn how to accompany themselves, older students who are trying to get into music school, and more advanced students who have outlearned a previous teacher.

I work with any student looking to learn music theory and composition. I will always communicate when something is outside of my teaching ability. My focus is on the student and their learning.

Yes! I’d love to network with other professionals, especially if we have different focuses and can refer students to one another as the need arises.

Yes! Please let me know what you are looking for. I’d love to create something special for you.
