About
I’m a dedicated music teacher and professional DJ with 14 years in business, offering personalized piano, saxophone, and music theory lessons. I work with students of all ages and experience levels, from complete beginners to more advanced players.
Lessons are available virtually, making it easy and convenient to learn from home. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and results‑oriented, helping you build solid skills while enjoying the process of making music.
As a one‑person studio, you’ll always work directly with me. My rates are competitive, and I tailor each lesson to your goals, pace, and musical interests. If you’re ready to start or have any questions about lessons, please reach out—I’d be happy to talk about what you’re looking for.
