Licensed Sound Beginnings and Let’s Play Music teacher

I have been teaching piano and music lessons since I was 16. I love so much seeing the joy on my students’ faces as they grasp new musical concepts, but even more than that I love to see how their confidence grows as they develop their skills and overcome hurdles in their learning. My piano lessons are friendly and fun without sacrificing high musical standards.
I also teach Let’s Play Music and Sound Beginnings, the music programs I have always wished I had. In these playful classes, I get to help young children experience the joy of music and music making in a natural and appropriate way for their age while teaching them the musical concepts that will prepare them to be complete musicians and understand music in a wholistic way.

I’d love to have you come try out a class! Contact me here  to register for a Sound Beginnings sample class so you can come experience it for yourself! 

My passion is sharing the joy of making music with children through fun piano and music classes. I offer programs for children of all ages, starting as early as infants. These classes are a fun and natural way to develop complete musicianship and give your child the lifelong gift of music.
