Mission

As a dedicated piano educator, my objective is to develop well-rounded, proficient musicians. I provide comprehensive training in technique, sight reading, accompaniment, improvisation, and music theory. My students are exposed to a diverse repertoire encompassing classical, pop, jazz, art songs, opera, choral works, instrumental chamber music, and musical theatre. Ultimately, my goal is to cultivate a lifelong passion for music-making.
