History
I began teaching private piano lessons immediately after graduation from Shenandoah University with bachelors degrees in Music Education and Music Therapy and a performance certificate in Organ. I continued teaching while completing a Master's in Music from Westminster Choir College. My teaching style has evolved as I have studied music philosophies of Orff, Kodaly and Dalcroze music education. A typical lesson incorporates elements of movement, rhythm, keyboard technique, music theory, and improvisation. Virtual lessons as well as in person lessons are now offered to increase availability and consistency of teaching.
Specialties
My studio offers private piano and organ lessons for beginners through advanced students. I teach both in my home and virtually.
