About your music teacher
Hi, I'm Ani! I'm a three-time college graduate in music with over 35 years of experience teaching students from beginners to intermediate levels. My approach is holistic and personalized—covering everything from music theory and ear training to sight-singing, a bit of songwriting, performance skills, and what the industry is looking for. I teach a variety of instruments and voice, always tailoring each lesson to the individual goals and learning style of my students. My philosophy is simple: your dream becomes my dream. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow your musical skills, I’m here not just as your teacher, but as your cheerleader and support system. I believe in building confidence, nurturing creativity, and making music a joyful, rewarding journey. Let’s turn your musical goals into reality—one note at a time!

I specialize in working with high school students through adult learners, helping them discover and develop their unique musical voices—whether through voice, an instrument, or both. My strength lies in being able to tune into each student’s individual goals and vision, and then tailoring my teaching to match their specific needs, pace, and learning style. Every student is different, and I honor that. Some learn visually, others by ear, and some through hands-on experience—and I adapt accordingly. I bring a full toolbox of proven warm-ups, exercises, and structured lesson plans, but I also know when to improvise and create something fresh, on the spot, that resonates deeply with a student in the moment they need it most. My goal is to help students peel back the layers to reveal the "diamond" within—their natural talent, creativity, and potential. I guide them in accessing their abilities with greater ease and confidence, showing them that the brilliance they’re searching for is already inside them—just waiting to shine. Whether it’s developing solid technique, interpreting a piece, or unlocking emotional expression, I work as both mentor and cheerleader—always focused on helping each student reach their next level in a way that’s meaningful and achievable for them.
