Hey there!

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m so excited to chat with you and hear all about how you’d like to grow as a musician.

A little about me…

I started piano at age seven, and quickly fell in love with all things music. Since then, my musical journey has taken me from Indy to the Netherlands and back, from classical music to interdisciplinary art making to composing original music (and many things in between). From all of these eclectic experiences, I’ve picked up all sorts of tools to help you on you own musical journey.

How I can help you…

In my 10 years of experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels, I have developed several strategies and methods to tailor lessons to each student’s needs. My approach focuses on self-driven learning, developing healthy technique, and ensuring a well-rounded musical education that prepares you to achieve your musical dreams.
