Whether you're looking for a fun and engaging first teacher for your child, an experienced instructor for a talented young pianist, or you're an adult beginner (or returning player) ready to dive into lessons, I'm here to help!
My teaching is guided by the idea that students learn best when they feel supported, challenged, and understood. Every lesson is designed to nurture solid technique while weaving in music theory and a touch of history, and will be shaped around the goals of the student. A structured practice plan is provided after each lesson. Lessons take place on a beautiful grand piano in our studio on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. All students are encouraged to perform in studio recitals as a way to celebrate progress and gain confidence.
As a Steinway & Sons Educational Partner and a teacher with New York Piano Teacher Congress (NYPTC), I also connect students with masterclasses, workshops, and competitions when they’re ready for more. For families interested in Mandarin, bilingual instruction is offered as a great opportunity to pair piano lessons with Mandarin exposure to enrich your child’s learning in a meaningful way.
I have held piano faculty positions at New York University, Champaign School of Music, and Illinois Summer Youth Music (ISYM). Besides these positions, I enjoy running my own private studio in NYC. Upper, where I teach all ages and levels. I hold a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Music as well as a certificate in piano performance and pedagogy from NYU.
