Teaching Artist Statement
Being a life-long student of the piano, I support and encourage my students to play with passion and confidence. Helping students learn how to make music through the piano is a thoroughly engaging experience for me as a teacher. Learning and mastering different musical styles from the seventeenth century to today gives me the opportunity to inspire my students to discover the vast world of piano repertoire.
