No Cookie-Cutter Lessons

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all teaching. Whether you're picking up piano for the first time or trying to get your mixes to translate, I meet you where you are and build from there.

My approach combines classical fundamentals with modern relevance. You'll learn proper technique and theory, but always in the context of the music you actually want to make.

I've taught everyone from five-year-olds to adults returning to music after decades away. The common thread? I keep it engaging, I keep it real, and I make sure every lesson moves you forward.
