Bio/About
With 14 years of experience teaching piano, I offer specialized lessons that cover classical technique, jazz improvisation, and composition. My approach is designed to address the individual needs and interests of each student, whether they are just starting out or looking to refine their advanced skills. By incorporating a variety of musical styles and techniques, I help students develop a well-rounded proficiency and a deeper appreciation for the art of piano playing.
Beyond my teaching, I am passionate about exploring diverse musical genres and continually expanding my own skills as a pianist. I regularly perform in various settings, from intimate solo recitals to collaborative jazz ensembles, which keeps me engaged with current trends and techniques in the music world. This active involvement enhances my teaching, allowing me to bring fresh perspectives and inspiration to my students.
In addition to my love for music, I enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes. This hobby provides me with a creative outlet and a way to unwind, which I believe positively influences my teaching approach. The patience and attention to detail required in cooking mirror those needed in music, and I often draw parallels between the two to inspire and motivate my students.
