History
I started piano lessons at age nine and knew right away I wanted to be a pianist. As a college student I taught both as an undergrad and a grad student and established the Gift of Music Piano Studio in 1980. I have taught in Minnesota and Seattle both private lessons and classes. Currently being a member of both Seattle Music Teachers and the National Federation of Music Clubs, I offer a well rounded musical education for all ages and levels of ability.
Specialties
Classical piano lessons individually designed for each student are the basis of my specialty. I also offer Piano Parties for young beginners, Performance and Appreciation Classes for my older students, several recitals each year, participation in a non-competitive music festival, theory exams, and Adult Soirees. I am a frequent performer and my focus in playing and teaching is on artistry, mastering skills needed for a lifetime of joy at the piano, and helping students to achieve their highest potential in music.
