Piano Lessons in Calhoun Isles

I’m a professional multi-instrumentalist and dedicated music educator with over 15 years of performance experience across the U.S. and internationally. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Bass Performance from the New England Conservatory and a Master’s degree in Music from the University of Kansas , and I bring both academic training and real-world performance experience into every lesson.

As a performer, I’ve served as Principal Bass with orchestras such as the Sioux City Symphony and Wichita Grand Opera, and performed with ensembles including the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with renowned artists like Yo-Yo Ma and Gil Shaham, experiences that shape my teaching with professional insight and high standards.

I specialize in teaching piano, violin, and voice, working with students of all ages and skill levels. My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals—whether building strong fundamentals, preparing for auditions, or simply learning for enjoyment. I emphasize technique, music theory, ear training, and expressive performance.

My teaching style is supportive, engaging, and structured, helping students grow in confidence while developing a lifelong appreciation for music.
