About Me

I am a professionally and classically trained pianist with years of experience in piano performance and private instruction. I began playing at the age of 9 and have been an active educator since 2013. I possess broad versatility in the ability to teach and play in any style, including but not limited to classical, jazz, rock, fusion, and Baroque to 20th Century solo piano repertoire, including the works of Fryderyk Chopin, Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy, Joaquin Turina, Beethoven, Mozart, and so on. My secondary instrument is percussion (focus: full drum kit). I attained my bachelor’s degree in music studies/education from UMass Lowell, and I received my master’s degree from the same university under the same area of study. I possess highly learned knowledge in music theory, as well as exceptional aural skills (perfect pitch), through which I consider music transcription and arrangement to be another one of my greatest strengths. I have experience also in composing and arranging music for ensembles. I cater my teaching process to each student's individual needs and wants, so if one wishes to become more savvy in any area of study I've listed above. I will happily oblige them.
