Introduction: I'm teaching students via Zoom and Skype so we can continue (and begin) piano and voice lessons from home. I individualize lessons and center on the students' needs and goals. I join the student and meet them where they are, and follow the student's process to better understand what could be most helpful for them. I like experimenting so the student learns experientially, and incorporate theory as needed to support the practical side of music. The student and I set concrete and feasible goals based on the work we accomplish each week, and I provide the student with practice suggestions that support their learning process outside of our lesson time. I'm passionate and dedicated to working with people, and I have 15 years of teaching experience. I'm equally at home teaching piano and singing, and I combine my teaching and academic experience with intuition and common sense to help my students achieve their goals, whether it’s learning music for the first time or developing advanced skills and artistry. I graduated from UC Berkeley’s Music Department and received the David and Diana Menn Memorial Prize in the Performing Arts, and the Mary Nuñes Souza Award, both prizes awarded every year for outstanding achievement in the arts.
