Piano Teacher Novato, California
Location: Marin County, California

I am an active music educator and musician whose passion is teaching and giving students a solid foundation for enjoying music. My goal is not necessarily to develop the concert artist, but to help anyone reach their fullest potential on the piano and to further their appreciation of music of many styles. I work with both beginners to advanced students and have coached musicians for solo work in recitals and competitions. I have a dual background in both violin and piano. I perform professionally and teach on both instruments.

My students come from many backgrounds and age groups, including many adults. Each student brings specific musical goals they wish to achieve and I work with each individual to design a program of study specific to their needs.

My teaching style uses a wide range of books, materials and approaches to guide a student. In addition, students have the option to perform regularly in student recitals and may participate in the Certificate of Merit Program (Music Teachers Association of California) for annual adjudication.

Bachelor Degree in Music and English (double major), University of California, Berkeley
