With 16 years experience in piano instruction, I cultivate musical passion in students of all ages, but have mainly worked with children ages 3 -14 years old. My tailored approach blends technique with artistry, unlocking each student's unique potential. Aside from my 25+ years playing the piano, I also am studying the steel tongue drum, fipple flute, & ukelele. While I am not fluent in Spanish or ASL, I do know some basic communication that I can utilize. I genuinely enjoy creating lesson plans for you/your children and fostering an environment where you are free to grow and explore at your own pace.

I believe anyone can thrive in the right environment & I would love to guide you/your children through learning a new skill set, along with growing and exploring your passions/curiosities in the world of music :) Let's get started!

I can help begin that journey. I have 30 years of teaching experience, and I am currently the golf instructor with Pegasus After School programs of New Jersey.

Raised amidst the picturesque landscapes of Sweden, I embarked on my golfing odyssey at the age of six, laying the foundation for a lifelong passion. Earning a coveted scholarship to UC Davis in California, I further honed my skills on the collegiate circuit, blending academic pursuits with a love for the game. From the age of 17, I've shared my expertise as a golf instructor intermittently, cultivating a deep understanding of the sport while nurturing aspiring talents. With a penchant for power and precision, my trusty driver remains my favorite tool, propelling me towards new heights on the fairway.

If you want to improve your golf skills in a supportive environment, Alexandra’s lessons are definitely worth trying. Looking forward to more sessions! ⛳🙂
Alexandra
Experienced golf instructor with the ability to introduce the game to the most novice beginners or tweak the experienced, competitive swing. I’ve been playing golf my entire life from the time my father brought me to the driving range & his clubs were as tall as me! The game is easy, but it can also be as hard as you want to make it. I like to start from where you are and enhance your game as much or as little as you’d like!
"Great explanation, takes his time working on your tasks and goals!

Ty Schowe’s coaching journey began somewhat by chance, but his competitive drive has shaped it into something much more. After years of private lessons with a top level tennis pro in Colorado, his natural teaching ability led him from a stressful college poker career to becoming a full-time teaching professional under one of the sport’s best mentors. His passion for competition, rooted in childhood hockey and soccer championships, instilled a deep appreciation for precision, discipline, and daily practice—principles he applied to coaching. He transformed youth high-performance programs, built elite junior training systems, and refined strategy and movement for players of all levels. Five years ago, he discovered pickleball and quickly saw the gaps in player development. Even advanced players lacked a true system for training, leaving critical skills like minimizing unforced errors, reading the court, and strengthening the mental game untapped. Now, on a mission to change that—he's bringing a structured, high-performance approach to the sport, helping players realize their full potential, and making winning feel almost unfair. With pickleball evolving, those who train with purpose are rising to the top— so there’s no better time to begin your growth.
"I loved practicing the form needed for each type of stance and shot.
