Private Lessons

Music is Love in search for a word

Private Piano Lessons

I provide each of my students with an individualized piano lesson that is both nurturing and challenging. I tailor the curriculum to match each individual's needs.  While focusing on proper technique, theory understanding, and skill development, I offer an uplifting experience so you can develop a passion for music and your growing skill. I offer private lessons both in my studio and virtually.

Private Voice Lessons

I provide individually tailored voice lessons that match each student's vocal type, skill, and musical development. My goal with a vocal student is never to make them recreate the voice of another famous singer, but rather develop their own special, unique voice and timbre. I strongly focus on technique so as to develop one's full potential. The repertoire is predominantly classical works (arias, art songs, lied's) or musical theatre works and on occasion, I will add in some fun Disney, pop, folk, or modern songs for students. I offer private lessons both in my studio and virtually.

I offer private lessons both in my studio and virtually.
