I specialize in teaching a wide range of subjects including classical piano, jazz piano, digital piano, and more, catering to students of all levels from kids to adults. I utilize a variety of tech tools such as DAWs, ear training software, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps to create interactive and personalized online learning experiences.

My teaching style is supportive and patient, focusing on enhancing students' skills and confidence while providing constructive feedback. I aim to make lessons fun and interactive by incorporating backing track libraries, chord & scale reference apps, and looping software to keep students motivated and engaged throughout their piano learning journey.
