"Music is a gift of joy. It is the sound of beauty understood in every language."

My goal is to teach students of all ages an appreciation and understanding of music, and to express themselves creatively through music. My teaching method varies with each students interests, age, abilities, and personality. I love music and desire to share the joy of music making with my students as well.

I believe music education to be an important part of an overall education. The extended successes of a quality music education includes success in academics, society, development of intelligence, analytical thinking, and creativity, and successes in life. Extended benefits of a quality music education include teaching life skills such as patience, poise, determination, dedication, tenacity, hard work, and teamwork.

My experience includes:

12 years of piano teaching to students of all ages and all levels.
Ability to teach and personalize musical instruction for each student.
Complete music studio and resources available.
Several solo performances.
Several group performances with other professional musicians.
Experience as a recording artist/producer.
As a piano teacher I provide:

Private Piano Lessons at 45 or 60 minutes per week.
Lessons that incorporate piano technique and repertoire, music theory, composition, improvisation, sight reading, ear training, and an introduction to electronic instruments and sound equipment.
All styles and periods of music, i.e., Classical, Modern, Jazz, Pop, Folk, Rock, etc.
Recitals, Competitions, and other Public Performance Opportunities.
Instruction to motivate, challenge, and nurture students to their highest potential.
I have a B.A. from Brigham Young University in Piano Performance. I also studied at California State University, Fullerton. I’m also an Active Member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, Los Angeles Chapter.

I’m currently accepting students of all ages and all levels.
