It is my goal to equip my students with the tools they need to become independent, curious learners. Working with an individualized approach, each student helps to set goals, and I provide structures, tools, and motivate to achieve those goals.

Though young, I have been teaching piano, and music theory, for 20 years, and love my work! Teaching is a joyful experience- being a part of the process of discovery is one of my favorite parts of my work. My students are prizewinners and hobbyists; "late bloomers", young starts, and everything in between. What all my students have in common is a love of music and of learning.

I have been co-founding faculty at prominent international music schools in Canada, worked for several years as a professor at an American university teaching at first and second cycle levels, in classroom and private instructor, and worked in private lesson settings in Europe and North America. My own musical activities include a concert schedule of solo and group performances all over the world; I make music videos and documentaries, paint, and am an avid lover of art, design, and gardens!

My experience as a musician crosses genres, styles, disciplines.... and I love my work. There is nothing more rewarding than sharing the thrill of music with others- especially my students.
