I've been teaching piano for over 25 years, specializing in students who love music but need a different path to thrive—especially creative kids and adult returners. My own struggles with traditional methods led me to develop an intuitive way to teach popular music using ear training, improvisation, and musical function. I believe students learn faster (and have more fun) when they understand how music works emotionally, not just academically. My lessons are playful, surprising, and deeply musical—designed to get you thinking like a musician from day one, even if you're not sure what you're doing yet. I’ll help you catch up.
