My Background

I’ve been teaching piano professionally for almost 20 years. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Music -- with a specialization in Jazz Studies -- from the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Furthermore, I have been a working musician in Austin since 2012. I perform with a number of bands in town, playing anything from jazz fusion, funk and soul, to pop, jam, blues & rock.

 

As an instructor and a musician, I truly believe that anyone who puts in the time and effort to practice can succeed. I have a patient and encouraging teaching style, and I want my students to have fun and fall in love with making music. I teach a variety of genres, as well as Music Theory, to students of all ages.
