Best 20 coaches for lessons near New Albany, IN

Music is a language of human emotional expression, and I have been grateful and immensely fulfilled by teaching this art form for the past 25 years. I look forward to working with students to help them along their own musical path. I began piano study at the age of eight. I remained in regular lessons through to high school. Towards the end of my high school career, I was placed with a new teacher who would actually become my main professor when I entered university music program. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Indiana University Southeast (2002), having studied organ with Dr. Janet Hamilton, piano performance with Dr. Christine Brown and piano ensemble with Dr. Joanna Goldstein. My piano teaching career actually began before my degree program was finished. During my junior year of college, I began teaching piano part time for Bader Music in Louisville, Kentucky where I maintained studio of no fewer than 30 students per week. Once my degree program was completed, I joined the piano faculty of the Louisville Academy of Music. There I operated a studio of approximately 35 students per week. In addition to teaching, I am also an active organist. I have held several positions as music director/organist throughout the Kentuckiana area. I am currently organist for Concordia Lutheran Church in Louisville, Kentucky. I also maintain a regular performing schedule outside of teaching, giving solo and collaborative concerts on both piano and organ.
