Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From beginning piano lessons at 7 years old; singing in choirs for church, community, middle school, high school, and college; playing the clarinet, flute, and saxophone in middle school band; accompanying for an ensemble in college, and playing the guitar in college. I have toured North America and overseas with an elite college choir, quartet, and ensemble.

I know that learning the piano from me will give your student a very fundamental, thorough foundation for a lifetime of piano playing enjoyment and further musical education.

I have over 25 years of experience teaching in our family’s homeschool, (which included our special-needs son), homeschooling co-ops, piano lessons, and most recently I taught Bible and Music at an elementary school in Kenya for three years.

I believe music is a God-given gift to each of us. It is essential for our emotional and mental well-being, giving us a healthy way to express our emotions, relax, and relieve stress. It provides an avenue for developing productive habits and work ethic in our children (and ourselves!). Music enhances our memory and our hand-eye coordination. It brings such joy to us and to those around us!

I take pleasure in adapting the lessons to the interests and individual learning styles of my students.
