Introduction: I teach private lessons in piano and voice at my studio in Lakewood (zip code 80227) onTuesday and Thursday mornings and on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays after school. (I do not teach on weekends.)
My goal is to provide a well-rounded education in music that will enhance a student's musical experiences for a lifetime. I love music history and theory, and I use that passion to cultivate an understanding of music that goes beyond rote learning or imitation and gives the student the knowledge and confidence to engage with music independently as a performer, a creator, and as an informed listener.
I have a large, active studio, full of vibrant, fun, and fascinating students, and I learn so much from them every day.
The one-on-one format of a private lesson allows me to create a unique educational experience that is infinitely adaptable to the needs of the individual student. I embrace the natural affinity for technology that today's children have and incorporate apps and games into lessons and practice.
For adult students, I create more opportunities to share music socially without having to perform in a recital, such as small, informal group classes.
I have worked with a number of gifted students, students with various learning disabilities, and students to which both labels apply, and I enjoy them all thoroughly!
