Meet the Studio
Meet my piano studio! My private lessons consist of learning new
repetoire, technique, music theory, ear training, stage presence, and more. These many aspects of music help my students become well-rounded musicians.
Below is a short description of each student with a video of their favorite performance! These star students all work very hard and practice many times a week.
Studio Recital Winter 2021
This is our first student recital since the pandemic of 2020. I am so grateful to be able to host the event in person!

Meet Leland! Leland was my very first student. I started teaching him when he was eight years old. Now, he's entering 6th grade! Leland is a very smart and hard worker. In his free time, Leland enjoys taking care of his dog Cheyenne and playing video games. When he practices, he always has an audience of stuffed animals who enjoy his music.
