Music lessons for kids and teens

Music is the language of our heart and soul, and everyone can (and should!) speak it. Music is fun, creative, and meaningful—a lifelong pursuit. And I believe it should be taught in a fun, creative, and meaningful way. Step away from the grinding piano lessons, and step into making music from your heart and soul.

Mentorship

I was shaped so strongly by my musical mentors and teachers, and I know how important the bond between teacher and student can be. I believe music is our deepest language, and it is my honor and privilege to share this with my students.
