I specialize in advanced students, but I also welcome promising beginners and students new to the instrument who aspire to high-level piano study. I teach with patience, empathy, and care, drawing on 15 years of experience. Lessons are available for all ages, from children to adults. I have taught pre-college to conservatory-level students, working professionals, and concert-level performers. 

 

Pedagogically, I tailor instruction to each individual student rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Because every student presents unique challenges that evolve over time, my teaching adapts accordingly.

 

A comprehensive piano education with me may include:

 

• Taubman/biomechanically-informed piano technique 

• Interpretation & music history

• Performance analysis

• Sight-reading and ear training

• Music theory & composition

• Preparation for formal recitals, college/conservatory auditions, and competitions

• Coaching for active concert pianists looking for new ideas. I draw on my extensive background as a musicologist, with a vested interest in music performance studies.
