First and foremost, I believe the study of music should be an enjoyable experience for both the student and teacher.

My studio focuses on introducing young children to music. Classes are offered for children from the age of 18 months, with piano study beginning at age 3 1/2. Children, parents and teacher work together as a team to provide a challenging and fun first experience with music study.

Performance opportunities include traditional recitals, informal piano parties, music festivals and competitions. I realize that not everyone wants to perform, but I hope that the variety of opportunities available will help each student find something that suites their personality.
