Online Piano Lessons from Grant Park, Atlanta, GA

With a vocal performance degree in Musical Theatre from the University of Georgia, teaching certification from Georgia State University, National Board Certification of twenty years, and additional certifications in English Language Learning, Gifted Education, and Educational Administration, I bring over 25 years of teaching experience to my students.

A long-time Atlanta resident, I began performing locally as a student and continued to share my talents through community opportunities in Europe and Canada. My performance experiences include the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, the Atlanta Choral Guild, the Atlanta Community Symphony Orchestra, Theatre Gael, The Center for Puppetry Arts, and various gospel music artists. I am currently the vocal coach for two-time Grammy Award winner Karyn White, supporting her ongoing career. An ordained musician at Metro City Church in Atlanta, I continue to be an active performer and mentor in the local music community.

In addition to my work as a vocalist, I am a professional flutist and woodwind doubler, having studied with Dr. Ronald Waln (flute) and Sam Skelton (saxophone). My classical voice studies were with Charlotte Reinke. I am a skilled improviser, piano accompanist, and student of classical piano literature.

My teaching approach centers on nurturing each student’s love of music while supporting their individual goals and interests. Lessons are designed to be engaging and thoughtful, blending foundational technique with repertoire that reflects the student’s style and preferences. I am experienced in a wide range of musical genres—from classical and jazz to R&B and pop—and help my students develop the technical and stylistic skills needed for each.

A typical lesson includes warmups, theory study, and focused work on technique and repertoire, often paired with listening or viewing assignments from master performers. I strive to create a learning environment that is both enjoyable and challenging, helping students grow as confident, expressive musicians.
