Study With Me
One-on-one lessons are much more effective because I can correct your playing, technique, time feel, and sound in real time. When watching videos, students often develop habits without realizing it because nobody is there to guide the details.
I also offer beginner and intermediate piano and music theory lessons. I have a Master’s Degree in Music, specialized education training, and professional experience as a performer.
