I love the light in my students eyes when something difficult becomes easy, when sudden inspiration sparks deep satisfaction and an urge to creative expression. I'm thankful when parents tell me their child was talking with excitement about the lesson and can't wait for the next.
➺ ONLINE LESSONS
Lessons can be done via Zoom, Skype or Facetime. I have a great remote setup where you hear my piano and my voice in great audio quality. It won't feel much different from an in-person lesson, but from the comfort of your home. You receive very clear practice instructions always available for you online with assignments, audio and video recordings.
