Introduction: I have a piano studio in my home with 30 students of all ages, levels and abilities, including adults. I fit my teaching to match the student. My goal is to make playing the piano enjoyable and pick pieces and styles that match the student's interests. Each student is different and I respect and use different teaching methods to fit the student.

I am a teacher first and music is second. I am a people person and enjoy teaching students of all ages. My students range in age from 4 to 65. I have young adult students who are returning to piano after graduating from college and working in the area. I have students who take piano for enjoyment and I have students who have repeatedly been competition winner. I have every ethnicity including African-American, Native American, Asian, Nigerian, and Indian. I love the range and diversity!
