With sixteen years of teaching experience, my goal is to provide students with wonderful musical experiences that inspire them to turn to music as a creative outlet long after their formal lessons have ended. Pianists are expected to be versatile – one might be asked to perform standards on the spot, sight-read chord charts, improvise in a given key, or accompany an instrumentalist. I aim to provide students with an adaptable skill set that allows them to enjoy creating and performing music in a variety of settings. My formal education is in piano performance (B.M.) and music education (M.S.), with professional teacher certification through the Music Teacher’s National Association. I studied piano performance with Yuri Kim Neubert at the Mannes School of Music, and am a former U.S. Navy Musician. Notable performances include solo and chamber recitals at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, Nichols Concert Hall, The Beethoven Institute at Mannes, the Music Institute of Chicago, and a seasonal concert series at the Chelmsford Center for the Performing Arts. In addition to teaching piano to children and teens, I also enjoy working with student musicians as a piano accompanist.
