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!

If you want to learn the basics of golf without the high cost of private lessons, give me a shout. I work primarily with beginners and intermediate players. Whether you're new to the game or need help with your stance, grip, and swing positions, we must talk! Have a short game and putting issues? We can work through those too. A well-respected teacher taught me and have had the opportunity to pick the brains of a few tour pros. With extensive knowledge of the golf swing, fundamentals, and drills, I can help you improve your game. You will get better!
