Lessons

I offer private instruction in piano and organ for students seeking serious musical growth and disciplined artistic development.

While the primary focus of study is performance, lessons in my studio naturally include integrated work in music theory, ear training, improvisation (including jazz harmony), conducting fundamentals, music history, and score analysis as appropriate to the student’s level and goals. I believe strong musicianship is holistic — technique, intellect, and artistry developing together.

I am especially interested in working with focused, motivated students who are preparing for:

• College, conservatory, or scholarship auditions

• Advanced repertoire study

• Liturgical organ playing and church music leadership

• AP Music Theory examinations

• Ensemble leadership and conducting development

Serious adult learners and returning musicians are also welcome. My studio is best suited for students ready to engage deeply, practice consistently, and pursue meaningful progress.

Lessons are offered by inquiry.
